It's been well established that I am dumber than the average bear, but aren't the tie rod ends (on turbo tie rods) just supposed to unscrew off the tie rod? I'm not talking about getting the threaded end out of the control/pittman arm -- I've done that. I'm trying to replace the tie rod end. Heat, PB Blaster, but I can't seem to break it free. It's not easy getting leverage on the rod and the end at the same time, but I've put a fair amount of torque on there with no luck.
Any suggestions or thoughts? |

Nope, I can't get that tie rod end to move either direction on the rod. I don't know if the threads inside got boogered or if I did something on the install 5 or so years ago.
What are my options at this point? Do I unthread/remove the whole rod so I can at least get it on a vice or something? |

Have you tried a big hammer hit on the wrench to break it loose? |
