I had a biatch of a time getting the tie rod end spindle out of it's hole. The bje went on pretty easily. I popped out the front axle while trying to manuver the rotor assembly etc trying to line up the bje. That was fun. An extra set of hands will help alot. It might be different with the whiteline kit though, i went with the 6gun kit.
Good luck with the install.

All I did was take the cotter pin off and loosen the castle nut until its covering the top of the tie rod end threads (almost flush to the top of the TRE)
Get a mini sledge hammer or similar weight hammer and bang against the wheel hub connection area so that there is vibration through the TRE. do not hit the castle nut. eventually the TRE will fall being held by the castle nut and you just unscrew it. Sounds scary but really not
