Hey guys I'm just wondering how you'd disconnect all the tie rods eg. Drag link were it goes to the steering box? What tools do you use? Thanks Jeremy |

Remove the cotter pins, undo the castle nuts, but leave them on a few turns so that the bar does not drop, then hit the side of the knuckle arm with a hammer. this won't damage the tie rod ends, or the knuckle. The shock loading will release the tapered TRE's. |

if you can get a 2nd hammer to the arm it will assist with the shock loading, hold one hammer on the arm & belt the shit out of the other side with the other hammer. IMO the best bet is a ball joint splitter, load it up & it will usually go without much of a drama. if not give it a bit of a kiss with the hammer with the splitter on & they'll pop right off.

I have a air chisel powered tie rod splitter, easy and very fast. |
