Replacing tie-rods after getting the new ones discussed here elsewhere.
Working on the first one on driver's side- when turning the castellated nut on top the whole thing turns. Thought about trying to put some pressure on the shaft with vise grips but the shaft and nut still turn as a unit... Any ideas? I'm stuck before I've almost gotten started! |

The bolt has a slight tapper where it's wider at the bottom generating friction to "seat" it tightly. Rust on the exposed bolt has even greater friction when it "freezes" to the old castle nut. PB Blaster overnight worked well.
I have been searching for a thread that describes torque specs for the newer apparently 'one-use' [non-castle/cottor pin] for replacement turbo tie rod nut. Where's that information/thread? |
