I finally started rebuilding my front-end yesterday, and everything was going fine. Its alot easier than I thought. After all the horrer storys I have read about the cone washers I was not looking forward to this. But all was good everything came apart fine untill........ I cant get my damn hy-steer tie-rod and drag-link off. They wont budge. And yes I took the nuts off <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/bird.gif" alt="" /> Im afraid to just pound the hell out of them....So any tricks or ideas??? Im actully getting kinda excited about doing this, Its going better than I expected <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

so all your cone washers came off ok but the arms won't come off?
BFH should do it. Use a brass hammer. If you can get the bottom cover off then use a metal rod and hammer from the bottom.
If you dont't like religeous holidays, go to work.Otherwise, let's call them what they are. It's freedom OF religion not from. 95-4R,SAS,f/r locked,35MT/R 5spd, 4:1,5.29. my site

Heat sometimes helps, a propane torch under the stud. Or just leave the rods attached, no real requirement to remove them to re-do the knuckle.

Do you have a pickle fork? That is what I always use. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/maintenance/Suspension/Data/Pickle_fork.jpg)

The problem with the pickle forks, I've never used one and had a TRE worth a hoot afterwards. The shrimp fork (a reference to Darin's diminuitive size, perhaps?) won't damage the TRE at least.

The shrimp fork (a reference to Darin's diminuitive size, perhaps?) Is that big word you used in the dictionary?? I might need to get a new one, first time Ive ever been referred to as diminuitive.
