I am trying to drop the transmission and I am following the instructions here to remove the tie rod ends:
click
I remove the cotter pin as instructed (it doesn't mention the nut below the cotter pin but I removed it anyways).
I have been hitting the stud and surrounding areas with all kinds of hammers etc but it won't budge. If you look at the pic in the VFAQ carefully it shows the tie rod end still being connected!
I am using Method 1 of the VFAQ.
Any ideas why it won't come loose? There is no rust or anything there and the pin is no longer in place.
