Axle nuts, Lower tie bar and Crappy work I paid for

[Kervin Ridgley <kervinridgley@earthlink.net>]

Hey List,
   I wanted to say thanks for all the info over the last year.  Here's 
my post for today.
   I'm half way thru putting in new bearings in the front.  I've got the 
hubs off and will have my new bearings pressed in tomorrow morning.  I 
would have rented/bought the tool to do it on the car but one of the 
Tech's at work is pressing them in for free.  I think it was the girly 
calander out of "SuperBike" last year that opened that door.  Anyway, 
some questions came up this afternoon.  1)  One axle had a nut and 
washer holding it on and the other had a self-locking nut.  Any thoughts 
if I should put on two the same?  2)  I put my lower tie bar on.  I got 
the bar used and it lined up just right with my car.  Is there a 
distance between the bolts that I should be shooting for?  3)  I paid 
some place to put on a manual rack last year because I didn't think I 
could do it.  Well, today I see that they just about removed all of the 
threads from the passanger side tie rod end.  Since this looks like an 
adjustable one, I guess I can just get another end.  The question - What 
do people use to remove the tie rod end?  I got one of those fork things 
that looks like it was made for a '68 Buick.  I hope I never give up and 
let someone else work on my car again!
