Omega General Help / Re: Removing Steering tie rod help

« on: 01 October 2007, 21:54:21 »

Heat didn't really seem like the best idea to me either which is why I was taking them off to put in the vice,  it's just any car I have worked on before the track rod ends just slide in and out of the retaining holes ie. no need for seperaters etc. was just checking incase there was a retaining clip or something daft I couldn't see ,  will get a splitter tomorrow so should be rocking then.

Cheers lads

I replaced the wishbones on the car and now as a result I need the tracking sorted. So of I went to get it done when they put it up on the lift and had a look they point blank refused to do it. Reason being is that apparatly the tie rods looks seized and last one they done broke. So now I am faced with removing them to free them up. Problem is after removing the two end nuts it will not budge at all. Is there something I'm missing?

Just after changing the rocker gaskets and sorting out the mess of vacum pipes , managed to get everything in the right place following the diagram in the maintence section, however there is a slightly larger vac pipe that comes through the inner left wing along with the petrol pipes that I have no clue what its for or were it goes, anyone know were it is supposed to go?

cheers , £14.75 + vat retail in case anyone is wondering, quite a bit cheaper than the correct 3.0 one's (£25 + vat if I remember correct) another bonus for using the metal covers  [smiley=cool.gif]

Just want to confirm that the notches should be aligned with the numbered cut outs , releating to what cam it is ie.

cam one points to number 1
cam two points to number 2


cam three points to number 3
cam four points to number 4


also a picture of the cam identifier if someone wants to put it in the other article

No not for the rocker gaskets, apparently it is needed to install the 1st camshaft bearing cap. Have got the black stuff for the rockers tho
