1G Tie Rod ends

[Pro3racer]

I'm removing my PS rack, but can't figure out how exactly to remove the tie rod part of the system. Could some one aid me on this part of my repair, TIA.

not that hard....you'll need a tie-rod separator like the one shown here.

AKA Pickle Fork, I find they mangle the tie rod boot 90% of the time though.

Thanks, i decide to give a buddy a quick call, went and borrowed a puller, and they came right out, quickly may i say, as i while tightening down the bolt, they popped out, throwing me on the ground, but their out. Now just 4 bolts and my PS rack is out.

Ha 4 bolts. I just swapped to a manual rack yesterday its gonna be more than just unbolting the rack and pulling it out. I had to unbolt the sway bar and a couple under braces and fight with it for about 2 hours before i got the p/s rack out. The manual rack goes in really easy though. My motor and trans is also out so that made things easier for me but Im sure your gonna have to drop you transfer case to. Good Luck
