If it doesnt come right out, leave the castle nut on a little and tap it out with a hammer. That way you dont bust up your threads. Measure you toe from rear of the tires one to the other and then the front of them tire to tire and make sure they are the same distance apart front and back. I think the manual says something about toe in/out in it. I dont think its 0 degree, but it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunyabinness Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 why are you telling him to take the tie-rod end out of the spindle??? that is totally unnecessary. all you have to do is loosen the jam nuts and turn the tie-rod. one end is regular thread and the other end is reverse thread. so you turn the tie-rod one way and it lengthens it, you turn it the other way and it shortens it.
