Slow progress this afternoon... painted engine bay with GUNK and sprayed it off, painted it again with GUNK sprayed it off..... 26 years of oil, grease and dirt so slow progress.
Thought whilst waiting for the GUNK to soak in would remove the manual steering rack
Got drivers side nut undone and separated the ball joint with a splitter, came to the passenger side, couldn`t even get nut undone, spent about 40 minutes with the 22mm spanner and a lump hammer, then switching to the 21 mm spanner and the lump hammer and finally removed the nut, however cannot separate the ball joint, am using a 18 inch fork ball joint splitter and lump hammer and gallons of WD40 but the joint will not split, so after an hour of trying to split the joint I have given up for today, need food and some beer
will attack the track rod end again tomorrow.
