Broken Steering Knuckle; Check out the Pics

[dendeanda]

Hey guys, I was coming off the freeway and some idiot didnt yield and tried to cross over to the U-turn lane under the overpass. We hit side to side on my passenger side. I get to my house to find that I'm leaking brake fluid from the calliper and that my tierod is hanging. I saw that the from part of my knuckle broke in half. So part of the knuckle is still connected to the tierod end. How do I replace it? Thanks?

Need vehicle info... (what axle you have, ect.)

How did you get home if the tie rod "is hanging"? Towed?

Sorry about the bland post, I was at work and pressed for time. I have an '85 Blazer, 350 automatic Silverado. I have a 4" lift with 33"s on it. Im assuming the knuckle and tierod are stock. When he hit me, I also lost most of my brake pressure and turning was a nightmare. I later found out fluid is coming out of the calliper. Thats no prob, I'll just get a new one and bleed the brakes. Honestly, it was at night and i didnt check to see the damage for ,uh hmmm, certain reasons. I think the tierod wasnt completely broken off until I parked, otherwise theres no way I could have driven home.
