    need help ASAP

    I am installing springs/struts. Question: How do you get the tie rod and control arm thin off. I know, I should search and use the Bentley, but I need this done right now. All help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    With the proper tool, or with a hammer hoping not to bend the control arm or the tie rod. It can be done but Don't hammer the threads.

      Propane torch for heat, lots of PB blaster and a blunt object. Ideally, there's a special tool that you use an impact wrench with to crank the tie rod ends out, but it sounds like you're strapped for time.
