Changing Tie Rod Boot On R32 Gtst

[jakez88]

hey guys quick question. attempted to change the tie rod boot on my 32 today but have failed. i took the pin off, screwed the bolt off and then didn't know how to detach the tie rod from the hub. i tried to smack it out but it just didn't wana move. i put some stuff to loosen it up abit but didn't work. so i don't know how to take the tie rod off the hub assembly. do i need to apply more force or is there another method someone can tell me about? thanks

Or you could have used a ball joint remover Would have been in trouble if you stuffed the thread..
