    you can hold the lca in your hand with the steering arm on the ground and hit it with a hammer. it will pop it off

    I just put the castle nut upside down onto the tie rid shaft till it's flush with the end and then hit it hard with a hammer.

    I am going to be making some new lca's and caster rods out of tube and rose joints, my only dilema is that the sway bar is much to wide and wont allow the wheel to turn inwards much more than full lock standard, has any body else had this issue?

    Loosen the castle nut on the tie rod end and smack the knuckle on the end near the taper with a hammer firmly until the taper pops. Won't damage the thread on the rod end or mankey your nut up if you want to reuse
