Toeing Front Wheels on G

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Thanks to everyone who is assisting me with this restoration.  I appreciate the help.

I  am bringing in the front wheels on my G now, first brought over the spindle supports to set the tires at a 48" spacing, matching the back.  Now of course the wheels are pigeon toed and I thought this would simply be a matter of loosening the lock bolt that is located on the spindle arm and jacking the front end up and twisting the spindle.  

It will not budge.  I am not sure which spot to attack.  I have tried knocking in the tie-rod into the socket which is stubborn and not budging and also tried twisting the spindle with a pipe wrench.  Is there some trick to this that I don't see?  The only mechanical inhibition to this thing moving seemed to be the lock-bolt, but spindle will still not turn.

	Takes patience. It it the tie rod that needs attention. Don't clamp on tube. You need a solid way to hold it. Might use heat, depends on the severity of rust. Patience, patience and lots of love and Kroil. Good Luck, Tracy Martin
	No greater gift than healthy grandkids!

	-Tie rods look somehting like this. YOu remove the clamp on the center tube, soak the threads with penetrant oil, then screw it in or out to "toe" the tires.-
	Like them all, but love the "B"s.
