Sup guys,
I was planning to finally replace my centerlink and I ended up with a car that I can't drive anymore.
1) I have several pickel forks and a balljoint seperator that works great on all balljoints, except for the ones on the centerlink. What kind of seperator did you guys use to seperate the balljoints there? A pickel fork is hard to use at that location with a car on jackstands.
2) My goddamn!! tie rod ends won't lock when I try to re-install them into the centerlink. I jacked up the steering arm to put the arms under pressure but the tie rod end just won't lock so I can't tighten the nut, grrrr. I've had this problem before and ended up taking it somewhere (the ride of shame). The tie rod ends are from FCP, maybe I'm getting what I deserve. Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks for help and advice!
