Removing whole track rod?

[306Puggy]

But there is no flat surface on the ball joint housing which was what I was referring to the special tool for. Also, my molegrips aren't large enough to go round it. MOT retest is booked for the 23rd but also gotta get on with cleaning up the brakes and rebedding them in and doing the droplink, not to mention the fact that I would prefer not to have to walk to work when work already involves a lot of walking as it is!
