I am in the process of replacing both outer and inner tie rods on the car, 94 tbird v8.
OK, So the drivers side inner tie rod and outer tie rod came off with not too much difficulty. The passenger side inner tie rod I loosened up so it is ready to come off, but the outer one won't come off.
I can take the nut off, but I can't get the tie rod out of the hole. I put a piece of wood on the tie rod and hammered the hell out of it...nothing. I bought a 2 jaw puller, but it slips off as it gets really tight. I removed the brake caliperand the disc to get more room.
I have tried wd40, vise grips, clamps, a jaw puller, hammer, the wheel wrench trying to lever it off but NOTHING!!!
I put a lot of wd40 on it and I am going to try tomorrow, but anyone have any ideas?
Should I just finish up the drivers side and bring it to the shop for the passenger side?
Thank you
Trevor
