Thanks Howard (Joe) & Ross - appreciate you taking the time to read and post. It would seem the steering link has to be removed. In Joe's thread, it sounds like he 'unthreads' the link by loosening the end clamps and turning the tube out. This will obviously change the wheel alignment and I would sure like to avoid that. I see there are castellated nuts and cotter pins on both ends of the link and my thought was undoing those and separating it that way. Has anybody done that?? Is it feasible? Does one need a ball joint fork?? I am definitely in 'unfamiliar territory' here and don't want to wreck anything; can someone with front-end expertise jump in here?? As always - thanks in advance.
