Don't plan to drive out the old stud with the steering arm still attached to the truck. Remove the arm and support it with something stout. Then apply the BFH. ________________________________ From: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com [old-chevy-tr...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Kent S.

Fellow Ole Truckers: I am getting ready to start the process of work on the front end of my '56 Chevy 3100. One item of attention, is the tie rod and ends. I will be replacing with the new style tie rod ends. I have read the various tech articles and it seems pretty straight forward. Grind off the peening, drill hole in center and drive out old ball stud. Will see how easy or hard it really is. Just seeking any do's / dont's or tips on the process before I dive into it. Thanks again for any input. Kent S Butler '56 Chevy 3100 Houston, TX [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!
