Update 2: ball joints next...

Looks like the 97 (and probably 97+) has 18mm nuts instead of the 16mm that Dean had on his 95. Wouldn't you know, no 18 wrench to be found. I'll need to keep looking or take a run to the store.
Picked up a rotor set screw and abs sensor screw and housing. Sure enough, ruined both while trying to dismantle - opposite sides.
So next is the 18mm removal of the ball joint nut (as Dean mentioned, no room for a socket that I do have). Then the hard part.
Thanks Gripen, the Pitman Arm Puller from Advanced Auto Parts for $14 (with the tax) was a beauty. Put it on the for tie rods, and it popped off before I had a couple full turns on it. Too bad it's getting my hopes up for the rest!
Well the darkness comes. Thanks all. Back to work...
