More Brake & Steering Stuff

I would like to get some tie rod end boots as the current ones are looking pretty tired. I found this…

Thoughts?

You were spot on with what was worn and what wasn’t. One of the ball joints in the centre link is flogged out, where the tie rod ends are good.

I thought I would try a plan B for the brake line. I now have imperial flare end spanners, made up some penetrant using 50-50 acetone-brake fluid (using the out of date brake fluid I had) and tried the nut on line coming off the master cylinder. Success!

I wan’t to try the other nuts off the distribution block. If worse comes to worse, we can pull the dist block out of the car with the front brake line and try to get the stubborn nut off in the vice.
