struggling with the tie rods
I'm trying to adjust the front wheel angles and feel like maybe I'm missing something here... I cannot get the tie rod to come loose, the castle nut that connects the ball stud to the steering mechanism just spins the threaded shaft. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to keep that from happening? I have the same issue at both ends.
I guess I can just try to get the jam nut loose while it's still all connected? Also, shouldn't there be a grease fitting on the end of the lower bearing on each end of the tie rod?    Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk |

Re: struggling with the tie rods
Is it turning on the shaft like it's stripped, or is the nut and shaft turning together?
Remove the cotter pin, 14mm wrench to hold the jam nut. One end has RH threads, the other has LH. Can't tell you which one is which... |

Heat the nuts a little, repeat heating & cooling a few times.

Re: struggling with the tie rods
Tie rods are a b**ch sometimes. I usually use a pickle fork and jam it in there while I spin the nut with an impact. Glad you got it.
