[Spridgets] Removing nut from tie rod

[Peter Caldwell]

Matt,
         Did you undo the end from the steering arm yet? Do that 
first, as we discussed, then hold the jam nut and turn the tie rod 
end off. You needn't remove the jam nut to change the gaitor, AND you 
can get just the tie rod end boot, if that's all that's needed.
