I am looking for some suggestions to remove the tie rod end from the steering connection, the part is attached to a smaller ball joint.
I must also note that the tie rods were changed to Turbo tie rods which shouldn't really make any difference. I have used PBBlaster, turned the castle nut over and tried to tap the splined end out with a hammer, (not a good idea since that ruins the splines). I have placed a pry bar across the tie rod and hammered on the tie rod. Does anyone have any suggestions to get the tie rod end to break free? Help appreciated. |

Beware that if you use that removal tool and the parts are really stuck .they can come loose with quite some force ....
On my vw's i use a fork shaped tool and a bfh but that destroys the rubber boot for sure. It also need some really hard whacks that make you sort of think what else you are going to break...seeing the removal tool in action and on my wanna-have lust now! Good luck. |
