Lots of good suggestions. Mine overlap:
Ball joint removal: PB blaster soak; then lotsa heat with a propane torch on the nut; then remove with pipe wrench + cheater bar. Tie rod: tie rod puller (small 2 arm version of gear puller) Turbo tie rod install: There's a big nut that secures the turbo tie rod onto the rack and a special thin wrench. I used a pair of channel locks. |
