How do I remove the right hand tie rod from a 96 Breeze I can't get the nut loose, I also tried to remove the joint end from the knuckle, any help would be appreciated. Can I heat up the nut and rod to help it break the rust or will this weaken it?
Thanx |

Are you using a tie rod end tool if so it should come lose they can be very tight also check some of them have a pin securing the nut but usually they will come loose.
Be careful with heat you could damage the seals in the rack. If you don't have the tool or cannot rent one(check price of one before renting sometimes they are close)get back to me and I will give you a few hints. According to most repair manuals the rack and pinion have to be removed to replace the end. -------------------- ASE Master Tech
