Well, I'm officially an idiot. After straining nearly to the point of aneurism trying to get the front tie rod ends separated, I realized that the paint I applied covered up the seam between the outer and the **** JAM NUT. If I had used my brain, I would have known it was there, but my eyes said it was one piece. So after reversing my efforts, I got the outer end and now unusable nut off. Went to install front and rear outers and discovered I have 2 different sets sent by DF, neither of which match the donor's. In the image, the top and bottom were from DF, middle from the donor. Which ones am I supposed to use where? It seems like the shorter ones won't be long enough either place, but with the car in the air (and sitting at a weird angle in the shop), it's hard to judge if I'm even close on alignment.
