MGers,
As you may recall, I am in the midst of rebuilding the front
end of my B- I've got everything apart, repainted and rebushed,
and I am ready to start reassembly.
I figured it would be a good idea to replace the steering
rack gaitors while I'm down here as they were dryrotted. This
requires the tie-rod ends be removed from the steering rack.
Problem is, they are rusted solid and wont budge- nada, zip,
no-workie.
I soaked everything in a good penetrating oil for the last few
days and heated it with a propane torch last night- but I doubt
this is getting hot enough. I dont have access to an oxy/acet
torch :-(
Anyone have any tricks for getting these blasted things off ?
Failing that, does anyone have a good used steering rack ??
