yep its a simple as that...but if u are having trouble with tie rod ends u
will LOVE trying to get the arm off the steering box..
I can't believe that with 2 hammers u can't remove your tie rods...
Have u tried bashing them from the top? it stuffs the threads on the tie
rods but it has always worked for me as a last ditch effort
cheers
