Re: Removing Steering Drag Link
What about a tie-rod puller tool? The two-prong style that pushes from the threaded end.

Re: Removing Steering Drag Link
The best way is a tie rod end press. You can get one at most automotive stores for under $20. The so called "pickle forks" will nearly always destroy the tie rod ends. they (forks) are fine if you plan on replacing the end. If not, don;t use one.

Re: Removing Steering Drag Link
Fordors has it right, but sometimes you need a second person to put a little pressure on the tie rod end in the direction of the way it comes out.

Re: Removing Steering Drag Link
I am almost sure the pitman arm will fit only one way,
but make matching marks just in case. |
