Help,
I've had a new inner tie rod (eyebolt) sitting on the shelf for along time. Today after finishing oil/valve adjustment, thought why not? (big mistake?) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Any of you done this on the car before? Manual says turn the bellows holder with a hook spanner (currently not part of my tool supply). Those of you who have done the turbo tie rod thing were you able to turn the eyebolt out without undoing the bellows holder? This is one of the few things that I have not taken apart during my ownership. Thanks for any insight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

Joe,
Thanks again, skipped dinner and used a pry bar to get the eyebolt to turn. Then used two different screwdrivers, channel locks, vise grips, and sweat to turn the eyebolt 1/4 turn at a time. When it was two threads from being out the bellows holder came loose then every thing turned by hand. For those that do this later the bellows holder is like a nut that keeps the eyebolt from turning once it's adjusted to the right location. If I were doing this again once I got the eyebolt to turn I'd loosen the bellows holder then everything "should" come out easy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Out for a test drive in ten minutes!!
