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.

Special thanks to Elliot for stopping by today with his little tool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I was only able to get one side off with it however but it was something. I went to Kragen and they wanted $22.00 to rent the tool that I would get it back when I returned it or I could just buy the tool I needed for $10.00, since they didnt have the rental one there, I just bought the tool, came home and about 10 whacks of the hammer, I got it off. I tell you, having the right tools, makes a whole world of difference.


This is what you need to get the tie rods off. See pictures for those who are not so literate
