I do leave the nut on half way to catch the dropping parts and protect the threads from Missguided hammer blows.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437391756499786337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076581846571762430.post-41502137105835922692012-12-22T12:01:23.388-08:002012-12-22T12:01:23.388-08:00First off,

On the other hand, you could easily make the tie rod splitter tool or go to Harbor Freight and, more than likely, purchase a Chinese tie rod splitter for less than $10.00 or a set with three different sizes for less than $20.00. In your case, it would not surprise me if you were driving along and an unfamiliar man walked out the front door of his home to flag you down and beg for you to take their like-new, fancy-ass refrigerator and every single tool and gadget piled in their garage, which happens to include a set of tie rod splitters.<br /><br />It seems that our recent discussion, while examining that leaf spring, was foretelling of the necessity of flipping the long leaf of the spring in order to reverse the bolt holes and, subsequently, lower the vehicle approximately an inch for that project.DrankGashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11108599247600811777noreply@blogger.com
