tmanhwm Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'm trying to replace the inner & outer tie rods on my 76 B210. They look like the original ones, and are totally blown out. I was able to get the outers off, but I can't for the life of me get the inner ones to break free. Pickle fork, tie rod press, hammered the shit out of them...nothing. I'm about ready to just give up. Anyone got some tips? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Your local parts store should have tool rental. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018LMAVBG/ref=mp_s_a_1_23?qid=1460692139&sr=8-23&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=tie+rod+tool&dpPl=1&dpID=41F0RZ2S6zL&ref=plSrch See the tool all the way to the right? My favorite! Use that! Quote Link to comment
tmanhwm Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 The one I was using was bottom right. I don't think that one would fit...it's right up against the crossmember. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Heat it up with a torch or take it to the shop. Quote Link to comment
tmanhwm Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Thanks guys...took it to a shop. I was able to get three of them to pop myself, but I don't think my propane torch was getting the last one hot enough. Quote Link to comment
