It's been well established that I am dumber than the average bear, but aren't the tie rod ends (on turbo tie rods) just supposed to unscrew off the tie rod? I'm not talking about getting the threaded end out of the control/pittman arm -- I've done that. I'm trying to replace the tie rod end. Heat, PB Blaster, but I can't seem to break it free. It's not easy getting leverage on the rod and the end at the same time, but I've put a fair amount of torque on there with no luck.
Any suggestions or thoughts? |

Well if the entire tie-rod is already off and you have a new one coming, nothing to lose if you take a cutting wheel to it and slit it lengthwise about 1/8" deep and then use a chisel and split it open.
