I am taking the front end apart and for some reason, I cannot find my tie rod splitter tool, the one to remove the tie rods from the spindle, does anyone local have one I can borrow to get this thing apart? I could come get it if it is not too far away.

there is a flat spot on the centerline of the arm where the tie rod is bolted in.
So, you have the arm, it has a round end with a hole for the tie rod. On the outer diameter of that round part , at the very end of the arm it a flat spot. Swing the hammer horizontal, and hit the spot hard. Dont i hit the arm all over, just that spot. It will pop, just a matter of hitting it right, and with the correct amount of force. Rich |
