It is necessary to use a ball joint remover to remove the arm at the wheel hub.

If it does not come out naturally under the pressure of the tool, heat the cast iron block with an electric blower such as a wallpaper stripper. For at least 5 good minutes, then put a wrench back in to compress the axle more firmly with the puller.

If it still doesn't heat up a little more and turn the key again.

If you judge the pressure sufficient, wait for it to cool, cast iron cools much less quickly than stainless steel, leave the ball joint puller under tension and wait a few minutes, the assembly will snap and the tie rod will be released. The cone of this tie rod corrodes, without a ball joint puller all efforts will be useless. Experienced Saturday August 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
