Taking A-ARms Off???PLease help!

[ErthXINGon400cc]

Im putting new a-arms on my 400 and im having trouble taking them off. If i sound like a nube, sorry, but at the end of the arm where the tire rod is i cant get the screw on the end of the tire rod out of the hole. DO you have to unscrew it out or do you have to pull it out? please let me know quick! Thanks!

The screw is part of the tie rod. Hit the tie rod down with like a rubber mallet & it will come out of the hole...let me know...;)

how am i supposed to him the screw part with all the little space
or hit the flat side of teh tire rod?

[trailburner]

Even if you hit the tie rod with your hand "down" it should come out.........make sure the nut is off. you are talking about where it's bolted by the tire right???

yah...you can just hit that thing out ;)

I managed to get my Right A Arm off by hitting a large:eek2: rock at about 30 mph.... but i think the hammer and nut off idea is much better...... both on the quad and rider:p
