Hi Group: Is there a trick or special tool involved in removing the tie rod ends? The shaft seems to be stuck. I would like to install new rack boots and tie rod ends. Thanks for any and all help (ag

Several folks have removed them using two hammers. I purchased a tie rod end separator many years ago and have used it successfully many times. I use a tapered fork which wedges between the ball and

Hello friendly list-ers. I was performing some normal maintenance on my '72 GT this morning, and noticed that both of my tie rod end gaiters (rubbers?) had holes. They were worn through at the front

I had the same wheels and the same result on my '74 GT. I have heard there are some tie rod ends that are smaller in profile. I don't know a way to source them beyond inspecting them visually. Someon

Because you are scrapping the units a picklefork will probably be OK, although the only thing I have found that undoes them without damaging them or by using brute-force is a 'scissors'-type tool fro

Yes, I have used it. Its like a large ruler with a pointer. The alignment was way off on my car and I used the alignment tool to get it close. Later I took the car to a shop for a professional alignm

There are several types of cheap alignment tools available. I own one, and have tried another. I have the type that moss sells - it is good if you have good access to the wheels. On something like an

I have aligned a few MG's (A's and B's)with the Moss tool, and it has done a satisfactory job. It seems to work quite well with a bit of fussing back and forth. Safety Fast! Gordie Bird '62 MGA '67 M

Moss's tool isn't really needed. Carefull work with a tape measure following the instructions in a Workshop manual usually will do.

Thanks to all who responded a while back to my wheel bearing question. It turns out that the PO neglected to put ANY torque them, but now all is well in the wheel bearing department, however I still

Hmmm, the steering rack usually wears in the middle, so the symptom is slack steering around center. I would think the tie rod ends would result in a slack feeling even with the wheel turned, althoug

I tried to put some recent threads about tie rod ends and steering rack boots to work this past weekend. One of the boots was broken so I backed steering rod out of tie rod end as described recently.

Tie rod ends on most British cars should be replaced if there is any movement side-to-side or up and down or if the boots are torn or missing. Free-play can be found after supporting the car on jack
