Trying to get the tierods off the draglink, just to replace my draglink, I've fucked the little boots on the tierods with a splitter tool and the still havnt even split. Is there an easier way? bloody great cos its ended up costing me more, i'll need new tie rods....

You should be able to buy the boots.

The boot is there to hold the grease in so would say you'll need new ones. Wouldn't have thought they'd be too expensive.

That's what these bad-boys are for, popping tie rods and ball joints without rooting the boots or the nut threads.

Takes about 10 mins to change a tie-rod end :mrgreen:

Cheers,
