Pretty self-explanetory..I put the front of my 2001 GT on jack stands and took the wheel off, I took the nut off the assembly but I could'nt jar the tie rod loose..The corkscrew is just shoved in there, do I have to take the entire rotor off?? I did'nt wanna start taking apart the entire steering linkage for the tie rod..anyone know the procedure? I know Ford really jams things together, maybe all I need to do is bang it out. I actually tried jacking the right side rotor up to see if I could level out the steering gear but it did'nt help.
