Originally posted by mikeedlerthe trick is not to hit the tie-rod, but you strike the strut housing right by the tie rod end. shouldnt take more than a wack or 2. if it takes longer, your hammer is 2 small, or your hitting the wrong place.Originally posted by Grueliusand i do not know what bugg brakes are.

I think this style would work better, but I couldn't find one for a reasonable price locally:
I ended up renting a tie rod puller kit from Advance Auto, and used the tool like the 2nd one pictured there. It tore up the boot, and I bent the bolt a little on the tool, but it got it out! But damn, beware of projectiles!-Brandon
