A arm replacement help ASAP

Stock982v · Jan 7, 2017

Ok guys everything was going smooth until the a arm bolts seem to be too long to take out , the front bolt hits inner tie rod and the back bolt hits another bolt? Did I do some thing wrong or do the need to be grinded? Need the car for school Monday any help is great!

Can you turn the steering wheel to adjust the tie rod? I didn't have any problems with either of the bolts when I replaced em last spring. Pics?

Post up some pictures T. Are you trying to take the bolts out or put them in?

Loosen the steering rack from the k member and pull it away to get the front bolt and the back bolt that is hitting is the k member bolt, just pull it out so you can get the control arm bolt out.

The front bolts hit the rack boot when removing them.

I just beat em in, boogered up the boot a bit but i didn't care lol.
