So far the old pieces are coming out fairly easily. The PS Valve and adapter will not come off the tie rod. Bolt is out, it turns freely but will not slide off the rod. Any tricks? Soaking in in PB Blaster over night, will try again tomorrow.

It is threaded on. Not a slide on.

That is the drag link. The tie rods go into the drag link. I use a very large pair of pliers to get the control valve off. It can be stubborn. You can try and wedge it apart some but soaking it and possibly a little heat will break it free.
