ok, the hub part is now off, no probs, the lock nut on the steering rack is off after we heated it........ its the actual track rod end on the steerting rack.
We have gripped the flats on the steering rack with a good set of molegrips very very tight, and tried to unscrew the track rod end, it doesnt happen!
We have tried heating it with a gas blow torch, we have tried using a ring spanner on the actual taperd end whilst griping the flats, we have done it all. Even plus gas isnt helping.........i have thought about cutting it along the length of the track, but i can see myself messing the threads on the steering rack, please help, im at my wits end.
It is a Cinq Sporting 1996......if it helps, its funky cinqs car AKA sam, bloody thing!
Many thanks soph x
