Take the tie rod fork and throw it in the never to be used tool box. Most pickle forks are too wide for MG tie rod ends. Jack up the car with floor jack under the crossmember. Take off the wheel etc.

The inner end is a ball in socket. There is a collar that is staked into position, you will need to grind out the stakes and then unscrew the collar, the inner tie rod will then come out and the coll

Shake the tie rod with vigor. There should be no perceptible play in the ball joint. If it wiggles noticeably it's time for replacement. Barney Gaylord 1958 MGA with an attitude http://MGAguru.com //

I assume you mean the steering knuckles. My method is to park the car with the wheels tight against a kerbing and have a friend beef the wheel in each direction while I feel the steering knuckle with

You sound like you can not get them to release from the spindle arm. Corect?? Use a tierod pickle fork or back up the spindle arm with a large hammer head, then have somene strike the opposite side o

Ray Easterby's method for removing the tie rod ends certainly works, but why go to all that trouble if all you are going to do is replace the rack boots? Once you have removed the tie rod end from th

You don't have to remove the track-rod ends from the steering arms (i.e. break the taper). Just undo the locknut on the trackrod, slacken both gaiter clamps, and unscrew the trackrod from the trackro

The way I've done it is crude but it works. First, make a chalk mark on the inside of each front tire. With the marks horizontal, measure exactly between those two marks. Write down the measurement.

They are standard thread, but you can wire-brush away dirt and paint to confirm that and to clean the area so penetrant can get into the threads better. Lock nuts can really lock over time. You use

Standard thread. The first time they were undone on both my cars the first time in my ownership they needed to be heated red-hot. After that I lubricated them and they have been fine since. PaulH. --
