I'm replacing balljoints and front shocks and front cv joint drivers side. I decided to replace the tie rod (Both inner and outer). I'm having trouble getting the inner one to breake free. I broke a tierod seperator tool already I can't beat it any harder with a pickle fork than I already have. It won't budge,Im clueless. Any help PRETTY PLEASE?

Make sure your using the right size ball joint fork or your going to be beating a long time.

you try heating it up before you bang on it. i used a torch to heat mine up before i went after it..came right out.

I'd do the two things these guys suggested. Make sure you got the right tool and heat that bugger up, should pop out fine.

thanks guys i know why, I goofedI took the outer rod out first I was just told I should have knocked the inner rod out first, then the outer rod. I never took any tie rods off before, first time for everything. This forum thing is a great tool to have.
