im installing a cobra steering rack but i can't get the damn inner tie rod ends off to replace with fox inners. i feel like something is going to break inside the rack from the twisting. how much force can the rack take??

also, trying to get the mm steering shaft in but the steering column collapsed some while trying to get the stub of the mm shaft into the column. now the stub won't come out and i dont have enough room to tap it back out of the firewall. any help there?

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

i have used an impact gun on the inner tie rod tool before and never broke anything, so wouldn't worry too much about it. as far as the shaft. been there. clamp a pair of vise grips around the shaft inside the car just before it goes through the fire wall and tap it back out with a hammer. hope this helps
