[DML] Re: Tie Rods - almost done

Johnny - Make sure the tapered shaft of the tie rod is sqeaky clean.  
Do the same for the bore of the steering knuckle.  Then, insert the 
tie rod shaft, and apply gentle upward pressure on the underside of 
the tie rod with a floor jack or similar equipment.  The surfaces of 
the shaft and bore inside diameter will lock together from friction 
while you torque up the nut.
