tie rod ends

Done a search, couldnt find anything.
I am trying to replace the RH tie rod end. How do you remove them without a puller?
I heard by hitting them, the bolt expands?
Any hints?
94 swb sierra.

andy1517, I think everyone now understands what the problem is. Can you post some photographs of your chassis before you modify it or the bar any more. It might be worth posting some pics of the back of the bar too. Reason being - there's very little material to put back into the front of the ...

not from what i hear. every mechanic has said if your doing valve stem seals, may as well rebuild it. However being an old engine 200,000kms, he said the block would need machining as you would have tapered bores and so on. Think i'm going to buy a 1.3ltr reconditioned motor from suziworld in ...

They offered $1800 off retail as a fleet discount - Mitsu offered $9,500 straight up...
And yet Toyota sells more??

Sounds like the quality issue is becoming more predominant.

spot on answer, also if you have the head off at the same time it might be a good idea to get the valve guides replaced, valve seats re lapped and the head surfaced ground, then you know you head is spot on
if this is done, what can i expect to pay??
