Alright, I searched my little heart out and couldn't find a good explanation for my simple mind.
I am working with a 72, bought new complete tie rod assemblies from Courtesy Nissan...but I don't understand how you are supposed to remove the inner tie rod assembly from the steering rack.
I see the large thin nut with 4 flat faces on it between the inner assembly and the steering rack, I gave that a solid pull and nothing...I didn't want to press my luck and go at if I was wrong.
Also I see the inner tie rod has that piece welded on with 4 pits, I put a flat head in there and gave it a few good pounds with a 4lb sledge and about nothing.
So was I at least close?
P.S. carfiche sucks, been checking it as often as I can since 5pm and I still haven't seen the 280z manual available once.
