The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun Tie Rod end undo - do I need that Fork-thing?

If it leaks in the corners, you can clean it up and put some RTV on there. It doesn't come out under pressure so that may do the trick. I have used this technique more than once. The pan gaskets I get have cork for around the ends and they don't fit well. I long for one with the rubber ends.
