How lucky......
... you have the early ones that can be taken apart. I have only seen one set and mine are slightly different. I did rebuild mine.... salvage parts from a spare axle and make yourself thick leather washers to keep the grease in. If you can't find a spring will send you one.
The most late popular ball joints are sealed units........ make sure your tie rod is not bent....... I had one straight one from 4 axles.......
Do not sand blast the moving parts where they rub steel on steel. I used very thick grease intended for open gears in mine to negate any wear.
Enjoy the mess.
Do you have a cotter pin on the bottom..... can I see the rest of the body of the tie rod???
PSSSSS I bobbed somewhere.......
