Fitting steering arm and track rod end

[JimboSlice]

Hi,
Is this difficult to do yourself?? Ive done brakes etc before so pretty good at DIY jobs!
What tools are needed?

if your fitting the arm the track rod screws on to then yes its not a diy/at home job!!!

there are no spanner flats on the ball joint end of the arm - theres actually a special tool to remove the arm....

All i know is I need a nearside steering arm fitting as is bent lol.

And what special tool do I need to remove the arm and fit the new one?

it fits over the arm and clamps to the "joint" to unscrew it

Do you know what its called? Unscrewing from the rod end looks easy enough. Ive found the ball joint bit, that has a little blue plastic ring on one end which spins round.
