Changing front tie rod

Here's a tip when changing stubborn tie rods. If you can get the darn bolts loose, like my 5 hr issue yesterday. Then torch it. Ha-ha not the truck! Just the bolts. When I did that it actually loosened from rust. After using he torch I was done in a matter of minutes. Thanks for reading!

 

Right on. Way to go!

 

I watch a YouTube video and just did it. Both ends of outer tie rod was basically fused. I tell you though, the looks I got buying a torch with grease all over me was priceless.

 

That's hilarious. Again, well done. Bravo!

 

The auto parts store and home depot are two places i can count on one hand that i have ever went into in clean clothes LOL!!

I took one look at the tie rod and said F it and just cut it in half with a grinder and replaced the inners and outers LOL.
