Ok so does anyone have a trick to get the inner tie rod off. I don't have any crows foot wrenches. I think I can rent a removal tool from a auto parts store.
What kind of car?

Fresh air isn't a problem, spent about 4 hours outside today.

Guess I should have worded it different, getting away from home.

Yeah, have to re wire the skid loader trailer so the lights and brakes work again. Should replace the safety chains and check the brakes and bearings too.

Turns out the other guy that works for him(and lives there too) isn't motivated enough to work on it so I get to instead. I have NO problem with it either.

Sounds like mid next week we are going to try to get into the swing of things for the year. Pretty sad, we had already been working 3 weeks last year at this time.
