Title: Got any tie rod anti seize tips and tricks
Post by: bnau267 on January 12, 2014, 12:55:48 AM
Maybe it's just me but it never fails that at least one of my tie rod ends becomes seized to the point where I destroy something trying to loosen it up.  Please share your secrets....

Cool.  What about breaking loose the lock nuts (tie rod and tie rod end).  I always assume I'm turning them the wrong direction but I think I got that down by now.  I never fails though that at least one side or the other won't release causing me to adjust toe by removing the whole dang tie rod assembly.
