I'm having the devil's own time removing the center tie-rod from my 1958
TR-3A. I have removed the nyloc nuts attaching the center tie-rod to the
idler arm, the drop arm and both right and left tie-rods, but I can't get
either right or left tie-rod loose from the center.
My original service manual suggests "utilising a suitable lever" but
doesn't hint if that might be a six inch screwdriver or a six foot Johnson
bar. And I'm not sure what to pry against. Does the tapered end of the
inner end assembly just press into the end of the center tie-rod? I'm
reluctant to apply too much force without a clearer picture of what I'm
doing. Any help would be much appreciated.
