<VV> Fwd: Toe adjustment sleeves stuck

[Ken Pepke]

A pipe wrench is the tool to use ... but ... it makes a difference how you apply the wrench!  Make sure the position of the pipe wrench relative to the slot is such so it tends to pull the sleeve open rather than crush it onto the tie rod end.  It makes a huge difference.  Add a piece of pipe to the handle of the wrench for extra leverage if needed.

> I am aligning the '66 (I'll post some notes and a photo of the jig later), I got the front camber set but I can't get the sleeves to adjust the toe to budge.  This car isn't particularly rusty, but they are being quite stubborn.  Any thoughts on getting them to move?
