Siezed track rod arms HELP

[AJR93RT]

Im off to le mans on wednesday and after fitting my coilovers thought it best to get the alignment sorted out as it was pulling to one side. Get down to the garage for them to tell me they couldnt do it as my track rod arms were seized.

Is this an easy job to fix myself as i really only have 2 days to sort it.

Anyone out there who can help me do this one of the tunning companies etc. Dont mind travelling as its got to be done?

Any help much appreciated.

Garage must be tards? If they are seized just get the welder on there and do it, they should know that :S

Im based in Oxford!

If i heat them up and manage to get them to move will i need to replace the track rod end?

I had my tracking done when I replaced the tyres about a month ago, mine were properly seized but the guy just got the welder out heated it up then the other guy quickly started undoing it with a spanner took about 60s...

sorted it now cheers guys. When i finally got the car in the air i found out i had male track rod ends so some plus gas and a large spanner did the job in no time. Bit unsure why the garage couldnt do it in the first place. Although it was 5 o'clock so probably couldnt be bothered to have a good go at it.
