Happy Halloween Syncronauts!
     Can any of you tell me how to remove the tie rods off the steering
Knuckles?   I need to do this so I can replace my steering boots, they wore
out & cracked within about only one year!!
      I have been told that you can simply strike the steering arm with a
hammer, which is immediatly connected to the knuckle (and tie rod on other
end) from below with alot of force and it will just pop up & off!??
   I would like to hear your experience!

 Thanks,

- Peter
