hey all im just installing my new suspension n to get the strut out i need to remove the tierod ends, but they just dont pop out. just wondering what u blokes did to get them out! should i use a puller or body weight? Thanks

a gentle tap with a hammer works for me, just be careful...

you need to hit the bit that the tie rod goes into. if you bang this on the side, it pops the tie rod and it then slides right out. dont be afraid to hit the SOB. I have done **** loads of tie rods and i get one of the biggest hammers i can find and smack the ******* and have never had a problem. good luck

Careful you don't damage the steering rack, but yeah belt the living **** out of it until it comes out. Tie rods should be easy though, it's balljoints that are a ****

buy a ball joint splitter, about $10 and will pop em out with one hit.

thanks guys..... i ended up finding a puller around work and i popped it out with ease, less hassle then bashing it now i just gotta get the ball joints out hahaha!
