Supercheap
Open in new window


Although the Big Hammer method (with or without pry bar) always works too, if you swing it hard enough and enough times ...

To remove tie rod ends you use a hammer.

Remove the nut & cotter pin.

* Use a pickle fork and hammer
or
* Use a rod-end puller
or
* Use prybar and hammer on the knuckle

never hammer on the tie rod itself

Loosen the castle nut that holds the tierod end to the strut steering arm so that it still covers the end of the tierod thread (or if you don't care about the tierod end then take the nut right off).
Now get a FBH (f-ing big hammer) and belt the steering arm on the end so you hit it at 90 degrees to the tierod end that passes through the arm. Keep hitting it really hard until the tierod pops free from the steering arm.

three nuts on strut tops, balljoint and tierod at the bottom and then just the brakes, either undo hose at pipe or caliper end.

What are you having issues with?
