Need assist with Passenger side Tie Rod Bellows Holder, Which way do I turn it as facing it (see pic) to loosen it along with the eye bolt? Clockwise or Counter Clockwise?
I already did the driver's side tie rod but the passsenger side is stuck and I am questioning my approach. It has to come off as whomever did it before must have had it out of the car as the Tie Rod placement pin through eye bolt has no room to come out all the way.. Thank You.. ( I do not want to booger it worse that it is) My approach was counter clockwise but the eye bolt is in so deep it does not have room to back offf, any advice.. please add fire? |

IIRC it was a counter clock wise for both sides for loosening. It has sticky feeling when turning so hard to tell if is tightening or loosening for the first turn. I used the tie rod as a lever and it worked perfectly.

I used the tie rod as a lever and it worked perfectly. Thats a thought there, I have the middle section the connecting rod off , I will put it back on in a way I can lever it.. Nice.. I was hoping for a fresh mind thought. Counter clockwise is what I did on the first one but I did not want to beat it on tighter or strip tight anything. I hate striped tight, dealt with that in several ares of the 914 already, tranny drain plug, oil drain plug, cylinder head exhaust hanger bolts, starter motor mount.. ect.. ect.. Like superman giving mouth to mouth to a drowning victim and blowing air into the victims lungs till they explode.. |
