QUOTE(PRS914-6 @ Nov 23 2011, 09:33 AM)  QUOTE(Cap'n Krusty @ Nov 23 2011, 09:57 AM) NEVER hit the threaded portion of the tie rod end! EVER. The Cap'n NEVER? EVER? As I stated, smacking them on the side of the arm works 90% of the time flawlessly. When it doesn't I provided a method that will get it off. Most people are taking them off to replace so for those it doesn't really matter even if you were to mushroom the threads. The arm is properly supported and it's safe to do so. Does that tie rod in the picture really look like something I would reuse? Perhaps your comment should state "NEVER smack it if you want to reuse it" In that case, I might not totally agree but I could understand your concern of damaging a good part. All good info though Yeah, but even then you may balloon it so it doesn't come out. I have see it happen. If there is ever a reason to hit the actual bolt I always put a nut on it to save it from doing anything bad. Make sure it is threaded enough if you do this as well. |

If hitting the arm does not work, add some heat.
