Steering Rack 1970 454 - Help!
Can you help.
See attachment I have circled the end joint causing the problem.
When I tried to turn the castellated nut on the tie rod inner end joint (I did take the split pin out) the threaded section moves with it and hence it does not unscrew.
Any ideas?
Kind regards
Paul

That means the taper isn't seated. Can you tighten it down to reseat it and then unscrew the nut?
Or, wedge a pickle fork in there and unscrew the nut
