so i am stuck i have 3 of the 4 bolts off of the mount and the last one is at an odd angle on the frame with the spring in the way. if you have done this before you know what i am talking about with the trac bar mount having a bulge in the middle of the two nuts on the wheel well side. so you cant get a wrench on it. so i want to hear how you got that off. also i cant get the old tie rod out of the trac bar and i have heated it pb blasted it and cranked on that piece of crap for about an hour and it hasent moved any. so i am asking also how the hell did you get that out tooo. thanks for the help guys. i can have pics tomorrow.

i used a ratcheting wrench to take it off under stock form, and the new springs were gapped enough to put it back on with a socket

i left my castle nut on the end link and gave it a good blow with small sledge and it popped right out, all stock 109k mile parts never molested...came it easy but i removed the whole bracket and track bar together then removed once out.

ok i thought about that with the ratcheting wrench so i am going to get one now and i have the trac bar already because i was twisting it on the passenger side and i didnt want to break anything so i am going to take it to work and put it in a vice and crank on it to get the tie rod end off

i am gonna make a write up for this when i am done bc i cant find any on all the forums

check out a pickle fork tool. super easy for removing TRE. just have to be careful not to rip the rubber boot with it.

Coat the pickle fork with grease and you're less likely to tear the boots.
