That must be the one that I linked to, yeah. I am thinking of getting one purely so that I can tighten it up to the correct torque when I put it back together. Okay, I'll try to get on with undoing that, thanks. Edit: Been out again, can't get any purchase on it. Molegrips are too small. Gonna have to order some stilsons online and the trackrod removal tool. Just when I thought this was gonna be a cheap trackrod end replacement job! :angry:
Edit 2: If you go to carparts4less.co.uk, can you enter this part number (can't link it because it is session based):
612540101
And tell me what the hell is up with their steering boots that they look like a rubber seal for something completely different? Is it just a mistake or is there some other obscure steering component that uses a rubber seal that looks like that?
Edit 3: Right, just cutting off the old track rod end, frigging hacksaw broken, now gotta buy a new hacksaw, might as well get a quality Bahco one, trouble is it's £20 quid! Funny how a simple track rod end change can go to this! Add the hacksaw onto the special tool and that's £50 pounds just on tools. Was quoted 71 pounds from Halfords autocentre so getting scarily close to that! Unless anyone has any other suggestions?
