> Hi Phil, thanks. Do you mean heating, if they can't be taken off, or heating the spanners
once their off?

My adjuster does it in situ.

> And is it nessesary for the shop to take them off, prior to heating/alignment, or could the
tie-rod stay in place, heat it up and then adjust it?

It's a mite easier to take them off.  Not much in it, though.

> What is oxy-acetylene btw?

BLOODY hot gas.  A welding torch.  Propane is rarely sufficient.
