@TBUChevy, I know about some interchangeability between metric and inch size bolt heads, but don't have a 16mm wrench, so assumed it was a 5/8 head. I've never run across a 10MM metric bolt with a 16mm head or I would have had that size wrench. Thanks for the info.

@Joe H, I may find that they fit OK, but haven't gotten the worn balls off the steering arms yet. I had never seen a non-tapered tie rod end before.

@Gord, Thanks for that info. I might see if I can drum up a 3/4 ton tie rod and go that way.

Thanks all for the input.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
