Warren, the tie rod ends came out of the control arm without much force. I did not have to use a puller: in one case it nearly fell out when I removed the nut, and in the other I used a hard plastic mallet to whack the nut, mounted right on the end of the rod. They fall down vertically out of the control arm. If you have to use a puller, get a small Pittman arm puller to fit over the control arm, with the screw pressing down on the tie rod threaded shaft. A pickle fork would also work well since you don;t care about saving the tie rod end. The Volvo puller tool fits nicely, but not everybody has one.

If you do this, use plenty of PBlaster the night before and hope the tie rod ends don't seize up like mine did. If they do, you're buying new inner rods as well. And reinstall with a good grade of antiseize.
