Default Fiesta Tie rods

Just bought a 2004 Fiesta for the wife. Can anyone tell me if the Tie rods are easy to get off without the special tool to undo the steering rack nut?

Default Re: Fiesta Tie rods

undo the tie rod nut to the top of its thread

you use a big hammer and hit the thick metal part of the stub hard... once or twice should do it

and the taper of the tie rod will pop loose
