outer tie rods

Post by petespath »

Hi
Don't do a lot of my own work due to all problems I encounter. Need help getting the outer tie rods off. Bolts are loose but the outer tie will not move.

BFH to the outter edge of the tie rod mount on the spindle should knock it free.

Yeah - you have to whack those melon farmers. I have used a fork (tie-rod fork - you can get them at Crappy Tire). Jam the fork under the the tie rod where it meets the UCA and beat the living poop out of it.

You'll get it.

I have the forks , banged at it for half an hour and gave up. I need a bigger fuking hammer.
Then if the thing does pop I am assuming the outer tie rod is also seized on the inner rod. It is just a fuucked up mess.

The inners are usually fine. It's the outers that jam.

Leave the nut on, but loose on the ball joint when using the separator.

Best tool for the job is BFH, if TRE is seized on adjuster you may need two of them - one SFH and one BFH :thumbup:
