Microtoad,

Here is what I did to re-install the track rod joints.

After replacing the joints, i noticed they were VERY stiff. I placed the track rod assembly in a vice and turned the joint with a large wrench about 100 times to loosen it up a bit (so i could thread it).

To get enough room to re-install the threaded end into the track rod, i used the mb screw jack to push the lower control arm away from the track rod joint. I wedged it between the body frame above the track rod assembly and the shock absorber. I screwed the threaded joint into the track rod just about all the way. Hope that helps.
