John:
Thanks for your message, and thanks to Mark Johnson and Dick Taylor. I
think I'll go ahead and pick up a fork at a local discount tool shop. The
responses I've gotten sure indicate that some measure, other than just a
whack on the tie rod bracket, might be in order, ie; heat and/or a special
tool. I'll apply heat first as well. I'm now confident that I can
accomplish the job at home.
Seattle's a bit far from Cleveland but my hometown is Dayton! Thanks for the
offer of your tie rod fork.
Best regards,
