hey all... gotta change the inner tie rod ends on my ra28, but the sons of bitches won't move...
i've managed to get the outer tie rod ends done and loosened the idler arm, so i have one of two options... i can remove the pitman arm, or the right inner tie rod end... but it ain't budging... any suggestions? i've got all the nuts loose, just can't crack the tapers...

Try soaking it in WD40\inox something like that
Or you could try some shock treatment(smack it with a hammer a few times around the taper...firmly but not too HARD)

A good trick and usually works get two hammers and hit both sides of the boss at the same time this does loosen the taper.
