I picked up a set of replacement tie rods at classic truck parts. I took the old ones apart and was going to install the replacements. I was following along with the shop manual and was making good progress. I couldn't figure out how to get the ball stud that the tie rod end fits over out of the steering arm.
I found a tech tip that talked about trying to press the ends out. It sounded like it was really hard to do and required special equipment. Does anyone have a secret to removing the ball studs? If not, I'll take my new ends back to the store and trade them in for a tie rod rebuild kit.
There has to be an easier way to do this.
