Default CRX Tie Rod Removal
Quick question. To get outter tie-rod off the knuckle do i just use a BFH and wail it out? Or is there a trick to it lol. I cant get it to pop off for the life of me.

thanks,

Mondo

DO NOT HIT THE THREADED END OF THE TIE ROD!! Unless you are replacing it!! LOL!! Hit around the hole it goes into; it will pop out eventually. And uhhhh, I wouldn't use a BFE because you may crack something, a normal hammer will do with some patience!!
