[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3191557, member: 40864"] Methinks you may have missed a detail or two. ;) 1. You put the heavier hammer against the [i]female[/i] part (where the tie-rod goes into) as a backup and hold it there firmly (it performs like an anvil). 2. You then whack the other side of the same [i]female[/i] part with the smaller 2lb hammer. 3. Since the connection is tapered, you basically squeeze the taper and force the tie rod out of the hole. Harmonics has nothing to do with it. However, it does work like magic. ;) :drunk2: [/QUOTE]
