I’ve spent the last hour on this and it’s driving me crazy. I can’t get either of the sides of the steering cylinder to come free from where the rubber boot end meets the silver cylinder.
I’ve tried putting two large wrenches on the notches and moving opposite directions. I’ve tried whacking one wrench with a mallet. I let it soak overnight with PBBlaster last night. I’ve tried as if left hand or right hand thread as the manual didn’t specify except at the tie rod nut.
I sure could use some more suggestions. Anyone done this before? The only way I can get the flanges off to change the leaky seal is to get at least one side separated so I can slide the cylinder out the opposite side.
