metal, doesn't want to come out of its hole. There isn't enough room to
give it a good whack with a hammer. It's that end that's worn and
wobbly.<BR><BR> Are there tricks to do this without removing the gas

<DIV>I use a pickle fork on that one. For the others, I use a tie rod
separator tool. Like Dave, I've had mine for over 15 years, and paid something
like 10 bucks for it. Since it's worn out and wobbly, destroying it
won't hurt a bit, as they're not rebuildable. A good auto parts place like Car
Quest, or NAPA should have what you need.
