I'm trying to replace my tie rod ends aswell as fix some toe in on my vitara the thing is the tie rod end I've managed to loosen the bolt but it won't budge. The second problem is the bolts to fix toe in/out I managed to loosen the bolt closest to the tie rod end but the next bolt is stuck on pretty well. Tried wd40 soaked it for a night, tried a bug hammer and spanner tried bigger hammer any ideas?

left & right hand threads on the adjusters.

ball joint separator or 2 hammers should pop the tapered section from the drag link/kunckle.

you need to tighten the tie-rod before you can loosen it, seems to work for me.
