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 :(

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! |

Did you have another hammer or something heavy on the other side when you hit the knuckle?? |
What's the difference between understeer and oversteer? Understeer is when the driver is scared. Oversteer is when the passenger is scared. |
