As I go about rebuilding my '63 Midget's steering, I'm gonna have to replace the inner tie rod assemblies (#14 in the diagram below)...I might be able to reuse #15, the tie rod itself, but why take a chance? The left ball housing & socket of that tie rod is so loose it scares me; so, since I'm replacing it, I'll also redo the passenger side even though its not as loose.
<u>The question:</u> Do I need a special tool to undo the cup nut (I think that's what its called - its not numbered in the diagram below)? I know the tab washer (again, I think that's its name & it's not numbered either) must be 'undimpled' before loosening & removing the tab washer, but I don't want to damage anything.
