another option that you can do is when you take the outer tie rod off (yes you called it right) when you get it broke lose with ball stud down (where the nut goes) count how many turns until it comes off that will get you really close

as far as the caliper pins autozone has brake caliper lube best is to get the old one out if they are damaged to bad replace them or you can use a wire brush to clean them up make them shinny and coat with high temp brake calpier grease take care not to get lube on pads or rotors
