what is the best way to break manual streering parts, in particular
the tie rod ends, on a 68 mustang? steering parts have been together
for a long while.

Remove the nuts. Let them soak in a good
penetrating oil for a few days. Go out twice a day and
spray the oil on the joint. Hint: WD-40 is not a
penetrating oil. I prefer PB Blaster.
If you're you to replace the parts, a pickle fork
usualy works well.

Meaning what?

Screw the nut back down until it's flush with the shaft. Hit it with a
heavy hammer a few times. Neither the nut or shaft should be damaged.

Pickle fork ususally works well but damages the rubber. If you are replacing
the stuff use a BFH and the pickle fork

Two ball peen hammers, smack both sides of the eye (female) a couple times,
nice and hard, the tapered shaft will drop right out...

Impact, works every time and no damage to any parts...
