does anyone here know how to remove the tie rod from a 96 nissan 240sx. Is it a threaded part or is it stamped on the rack and pion(sp?)

hammer...?

take castle nut, turn upside down and half-thread it onto the tie rod shank. thread it enough so its not just on by a couple threads, but dont let the tie rod shank threads get exposed so they won't get fucked up. then hit away

if its an old tie rod, go midevil on that bitch without hte castle nut trick.

theres a thread in the FAQ section that dousan made about installing tie rods and stuff. it even has pictures. should be what you're looking for.

Inner tie rod: Big ass wrench and the strong hand, add heat if neccessary.
Out tie rod: Hammer, or a pickle fork if it's in there real good.
Separating the two: Wrenches.
