Replacing a tie rod
In relation to the "how to remove a tie rod"
Specifically the pin that needs drilled out to release.
Is there a special pin that needs put back in or will an appropriate sized metal pin type item suffice if secured in the hole?
Thanks in advance everyone

a split pin is the usual pin, the pin should also pull out if not drill it nice and slowly
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

The Mk2 Escort racks normally have a soft metal pin to secure the inner ball joint to the end of the rack, which has to be drilled out. I'd
have expected a new pin to come with the rack end to be honest.

It's a pair of used tie-rods that came from an old rack of mine (so the old pins are now in pieces). They were indeed a pretty soft metal (not
split-pins).
