Inner tie rods

[tmanhwm]

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?

Your local parts store should have tool rental.

See the tool all the way to the right? My favorite! Use that!

The one I was using was bottom right.

 

I don't think that one would fit...it's right up against the crossmember.

Heat it up with a torch or take it to the shop.

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.
