While rebuilding the rear suspension on my 89, I took off the tie rod assembly and wanted to change the rod ends. I have already gone thru 2 different assemblies and each time I tried to remove the ends it screwed up the threads. Do anybody know why this happens or what procedure is to be used to remove them?
I separated mine with a pickle fork. Banging on it never worked for me. Mabey with cast iron.
Picle fork may tear the boot but a new rod end it would not matter. Count the threads or measure.
I won't speak to the oem's as I replaced them with the Banski unit. Worth checking out especially if you're having problems with what came on the car. My opinion.
