Re: Tie Rod Removal
Use a hammer and smack the end of the spindle where the tie rod goes through it. That flexes the spindle just enough to pop the T/R out. Might need to put a little prybar pressure on the tie rod for older stuborn ones.
Tie rod forks tear up rubber. |

Re: Tie Rod Removal
Hey, don't have a prybar, used my wife icecream scooper to apply pressure and knocked fire out of it. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the advise

Re: Tie Rod Removal
I run the nut out to the end of the threads, then press a heavy hammer down on top the spindle to absorb some of the shock and smack it out with a brass hammer (saves the threads and won't break the spindle)
