[Healeys] Tie and Center Rods

[Mirek Sharp]

I have encountered that issue  few times.  I make sure that pin and the inside of the hole are clean free of any grease,  then I usually find a way to gently lever down (or up – I can’t recall) on the tie rod to “jam” the pin into the hole.  I have found that  I can generate enough friction so that I can tighten the nut.  Never done a BN2 though, so not sure if it can be done that way.

     I am installing the steering in my BN2, basically the same as all big Healeys.  Tonight I installed the idler unit.  Then I tried connecting the tie rod between the tie rod and the wheel.  I started to tighten the nyloc nut that comes with today's tie rods and I find the pin out of the ball joint started turning with the nut long before it was tight.  I don't find any flats anywhere to stop it from spinning.  How is this done?
