Special tools
As I recall... a big hammer and "pickle fork" to separate the tie rod end... don't be gentle! Need a 1 1/4" open end wrench to turn the end that mates to the steering rack... only a standard wrench is too thick..... you need the end of the wrench to me no more than 0.25 inches thick or it won't fit in the gap they give you... You can make such a specialty wrench starting with a standard wrench and a lot of work on a bench grinder or you can search around for something thin... The grinding takes a lot of time...... but is fun at night for the kids to watch the sparks.... I remember that part well. - Dave |
