steering went out on bx2230. Figured its likely the steering cylinder O ring that seems to problematic. Took steering cylinder off and I had problems removing one of the tie rod ends ( one with the flat at the end). tried a lotta ways to remove including heat which obviously wasn’t a good...

curious. ive got this issue on a bx2230 with a tie rod end that I wiuld replace but I can’t get it off the cylinder. Its stuck big time. I was having the steering cylinder rebuilt and I took it to them wit the one tie rod still attached. Even in their machine shop they could not remove the...
