                | borochone | Posted - 30 Jan 2014 : 3:48:47 PM Hey guys im having a really pain in the arse problem
  i have to replace my tie rod ends, and no matter what i do i cant get the rods to dislodge from the steering knuckle:(
 ive tried everything, hitting the side with a hammer to break it free, ive used a tie rod separator which broke, ive used a pitch fork, nothing works, since im getting new rod ends ive even tried smacking on the bolt to knock it out, it hasn't moved a mill :(
 its so frustrating, you guys are my last glimpse of hope before i cut the rod off and drill the screw out :(

                | jas89 | Posted - 09 Feb 2014 : 12:06:20 PM put a jack under the steering knuckle and then give the tie rod end a good hit with hammer, always comes off for me that way!
