Okay so I put on turbo tie rods a few months ago on my Corvair car. With the thick washers on that come with them. They won't go in far enough. They toe in just a bit. I read that sometimes those washers are to thick. So I figure to pull it off & go get some thinner washers.
All I did was tighten it up months ago. That puppy does not want to pop off. Is there a special press or tool I can use with it on my car which is on my lift? The BFH method isn't working. I tried prying it with a 2 ft breaker bar. I've stopped now as I'm pissed & likely to break something. So suggestions |
