Removing Tie Rods

[joh21m]

Hi All,

I'm trying to remove my front left tie rod from my s13. I cant seem to take the pin/clamp off the pillow ball part so i can remove it and put the new one in.

Can anyone shed some light on how to remove it (clip/whole thing)

its really frustrating!!!!

Thanks,

Joh

They are a tapered pin setup. Ideally, you'll need to get a "puller". Go see Repco / Autobarn / Supercheap.

An alternative is to support the fixed part with a sledgehammer, and whack the pin with a good sized hammer. Leave the nut on to prevent damaging the thread. (this is a more dangerous method)

any idea on the cost of this 'puller'?
