    there are multiple pieces that can be considered "the tie-rod" Are they talking inner, outer, both? Unless you live in a salt mine (also known as the rust belt) you should be able to adjust without heat...and even with heat, unless they are a Gorilla with the tools it shouldn't break.

    I'm thinking just outer tie rods, which are $45 each I believe.

    Stu, we do live in a high-salt area (northeast). Mine were seized as well on my first alignment attempt, but after trying again a couple days later we got the outers to move with some PB Blaster. We snapped a super tight vice grip to it and gave it a few good smacks. Eventually it gave way, we didn't use heat.

    The stripped caliper carrier bolt saga continues. Tried to remove it today with a Craftsman easy-out socket set. It literally just rounded it out more. The bolt isn't going anywhere.

    I have no choice but to resort to a shop to extract it, as I do not have access to more efficient tools. I called a brake shop today and they said to bring it by on Tuesday and they'll get to it some time that day. Hopefully it won't be too expensive...

    I'm assuming the best way to get it out is with a high-powered pneumatic impact wrench and a different type of bolt extractor, two things I don't have. Plus, I need much more clearance to get to it that way.

    Sanded down most of my center console and armrest interior parts after Plastidip. Had to use WD40 and a pressure washer on the bigger pieces. Krylon Fusion will be here Tuesday and I will use that to paint.

    Tap and die set or an appropriate drill bit and a drill should do it.

    I finally put the oem aux input in the car and mounted it through the sunglass holder backing, driving the car more often so this was definitely a necessity and I'm very happy with the sound quality.
