Jim or others,
Anyone had to shorten the threads on the rod when installing the new model tie rod ends? I have spread them a bit, chased the threads, and added grease but they are only half way there for proper toe in. I am holding off on cheating with pipe wrench/vise grips, as I want to weld the nuts to the rod (per Jim's suggestion)to prevent marring, especially in the future. Use of a wrench may thread them "home" where the hands won't.
Anyway, has anyone run them in without triming a 1/2" off both ends?
