HI ... JUST RECIEVED THE TIE ROD BALL #T-2721-B (TAPERED]. TRIED TO TAKE THE OLD ONE OFF,AND IT WILL NOT BREAK FREE. LEFT THE CASTLE NUT ON A FEW TURNS & HIT IT, BUT NO GO. IM AFRAID OF HITTING IT TO HARD, & BREAKNG SOMTHING. WHATS THE BEST WAY? THANKS.
Take a torch and heat up the casting that the ball is setting in. This will normally break them free.Date Added: 01/30/05
