How can I get the factory stab. tie rod end off?I've tried beating, pulling,air hammering with a fork and it still won't budge.

 

I had the same problem. Take a pipe wrench and get hold of the stem and give it a turn. It doesn't matter which direction. I used a pipe for leverage but it came right out.

 

I took a small propane torch and gave the rod a small amount of evenly applied heat. Then gave the stabilizer end a tap with a hammer and out it popped. Just dont heat it up in only one spot and never get anything so hot you change the metal characteristics.

 

Pipe wrench did the trick!Thanks!!
