[Spridgets] Tie Rod Removal

[brian S]

I know you've already changed it, but,

Easiest and least destructive way to remove Tie Rods is to simply take 2 Hammers and hit the opposite sides of the

Steering arm at the same time.

Shocks the joint, falls right out. 😊

Alright guys, I spring for the Harbor Frieght tool this morning.  Actually it seems to be a well made tool.  It is adjustable for small or large ball joints and has a nice black finish on it.  Within getting home I had the tie rod end separated with no damage to the powder coated steering arm.  It works great.  Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Anyone know a source for a tie rod removal too that fits the small Bugeye steering arm?  I don't want to use a pickle fork if I can help it, even if I had one small enough, because I am trying to do this without tearing the tie rod boot.  I tried just beating on the arm with a small sledge with no result.
