mizlopi Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 No ive got that off but the rod that the track rod end is on i need to take off (tie rod) there is a place you can get grips or spanner on but once you turn it so far its almost impossible to get to to turn it more?

mizlopi Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Ye spot on mate!! Its the red part at bottom ye n/s one got nut off tapped it out but other end going onto steering rack is hard to get to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scot-ish Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 it looks like you will need two bolts on the other end locked tight, and then screwed off, looks from the pic its got a thread into the rack.ive not removed one, but makes sense that it would be threaded in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scot-ish Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 You'll have to crack the lock nut off before removing the joint from the hub (this stops the track rod from spinning). Once the lock nut is loose, remove the joint from the hub and wind it off of the rod. If it's still a little tight then you may need to hold the track rod with a spanner (possibly a 12mm) and turn the track rod using the correct size spanner (possibly a 17mm). After you've replaced the track rod and track rod end, you'll need to have the front toe adjusted back into spec, although as a temporary measure, if your eyesight is good you can adjust it yourself by setting the steering wheel in the straight ahead position, then winding the replaced track rod in or out until the wheel appears to be sat in the same position as the wheel on the other side. It's not a totally accurate way of doing things, but it's better than leaving the wheel pointing out on the piss. After each adjustment, turn the steering full lock both ways and then recentre the steering wheel before deciding if the adjustment made is enough or too much.see here, http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showth...emoving+tie+rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
