Re: Shin Bone Connected to Thigh Bone... ALL

OK Steve, I missed that part in your original post. The seized part is the tie rod end on the rod not on the strut. Well, that certainly is 'better', but still a PITA.

So offer me some advice. I am going to change my tie rod ends soon, this weekemd is out due to an event in the area in which I must participate.

Should I use a pickle fork or some kind of puller to get these ends off? I will do one at a time and make sure the alignment is close. I have an alignment shop close by with the latest wiz bang led/laser rangeing/timing. Gee, when your measuring fractions of inches, how fast does the computer need to be, Picosecond clock speeds? Anyway, I hope you are sucessful in your repairs, and take some pics will you. A staged shot with hammer in hand beating the hell out of your car would be a good one. How about the car fighting back? Do you have a digital camera yet?

BTW, I have a short length of boiler tube for my breaker bar. I picked it up here when the boiler was being re-tubed. As I was carrying it to my car, several women looked at me strangely. I wonder why?
