Need help quickly ASAP RIGHT MEOW

[lflylow]

I need to remove my steering knuckle so i can take it and the hub to a shop so they can remove a rounded bolt for me, now i have gotten the outer tie rod nut to the end of the bolt but when i turn it now it just turns the bolt how do i get this bolt to stop turning.

[dsmuts]

grab the bottom with a pair of vise grips if you have already rounded it off then take the nut off with an 18mm wrench.

[lflylow]

the tie rod nut isnt rounded its just turning the bolt when i try to take it off.

[dsmuts]

the bottom of it should be like 10mm or 8mm so you can put a wrench on the tie rod stud and on the nut.

it's a bolt grip, it'll grab that bolt and take that sucker right out.

as for the tie rod, get some vice grips and get a good grip on it and get that nut off.

[lflylow]

i have already tried the craftsman version of those sockets didn't work

[dsmuts]

if nothing else you could cut the tie rod end off and just get a new one.

im gonna cut it off and get a new one

[Scottydoggs]

tighten it back up and start over, (not kidding) sometimes it works, some times it dont. after you get the nut off whack it with a hammer on the side to pop it loose from the knuckle.

for the tie rod bolt I'm gonna try what this guy did 1997-2003 Grand Prix Outer Tie Rod End Replacement - Automotive Forums .com Car Chat

I'm also gonna try those sockets again with the axle out of the way its a lot better angle.

[BillBoost37]

If you can cut the tie rod, then likely you can cut the head off the hub bolt that you are trying to get off. Just saying, maybe the answer to your problem is easier than trying to get the tie rod end off.

[lflylow]

OK so I have now gotten the hub off the knuckle and I'm at the point where I'm trying to put the drivers side axle into the transmission and know matter what I can't get it to slide into the transmission.

[stealthee]

If its like any other FWD axle with a circlip it needs to be POPPED into place. It wont just slide into place.

[lflylow]

yea never done an axle before. but i did get it to go, now apparently i some how fvcked the threads up on the ball joint gonna try to fix it tomorrow.

[brandonl2000]

you sure a mechanic wouldn't be of use to you?? bolts and threads aren't agreeing with you too well...

[lflylow]

fvck that, live, learn, buy performance parts for the sh!t you break.
