With the track rod end soaking overnight, I tried and failed to move it – out came the angle grinder! I cut off the end and cut a groove along the shaft until I could just see the thread.
Using a small hacksaw I cut along the groove, then with a large screwdriver and hammer I hit the open end to break the joint which allow me to unscrew the remain piece.

This is my record of the restoration of my 1977 Triumph TR7, I bought the car in 1983 for £1500. Over the four years of driving it I had got married, moved to a 110 year old cottage in need of renovation and given a new company car. The TR was parked in the garage (1987) at the end of the garden. I always joked saying "that one day I put it back on the road". Twenty-four years later (Nov 2011) that day has arrived - wish me luck.
