P1000 Tie Rod HELP.

[THEDUKE_SXS]

Threads from the Inner tie rod broke off Inside the Steering Arm. This is why its taking so long. Three different easy outs, torches, welders. Still in there. @ODAMO

Have you heated the outside while the EZout grabbed it?

Is it a reverse thread??

I watched a YouTube video one time but haven't tried this. The guy took a copper pipe that would fit down in that hole snug. Cut it off flush. Then you can mig weld inside that copper pipe on the broken bolt until the weld is up to the top. Then you can weld a nut on it. I think the guy actually used an old screwdriver and then just kept working that broken bolt till it came out. The copper pipe keeps weld from getting on the inside threads. I'll try to find the video.

I tried every trick in the book. The last thing I did was a easy out in the broken bolt. It is not a reverse thread, the easy out bite hard and would not remove the bolt. I welded a old socket to the easy out and used an impact with torches. The easy-out twisted in place and never turned the broken bolt.
I think my only option at this point is drill and tap or replacement. I have a replacement internal steering rod. Just not sure how to remove it yet.

Have you tried heating the female fitting portion of the fitting? Not so hot that it heats the male threads.

You probably have to drill all the way thru and close to tap drill dia. To weaken the broken stud. If the gods start to smile down upon you, you may luck out and not have to retap. Either way, when you finally get it out you will get another hole punched in your man card.

What kind of easy out have you tried?
May I suggest this? Get the one with the drill guides. If you have an easy out broken in the rack, you are pretty much screwed unless you have some expensive drill bits for the hardened steel.

Not exactly cheap though.

Are you not sure how to remove the rack from the machine?
Or how to disassembly the rack?

Disassemble the rack itself to replace the internal steering rod that the inner tie rods screw into. I have a replacement one of them, just haven't had a chance to figure out how to tear down the rack to access it.
