badasschevy Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 you'll need a pickle fork or aka tie rod seperator to break it free from the knuckle. if it has a jam nut or sleave with a bolt(s) loosen them up, but before you try removing the tie rod measure or count the amount of threads showing on the rod itself. you'll need to know that for when you put the new one's on,so you can get it close within speck. you'll need an alignment afterwards.

V1G1LANT3 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I wouldn't use a pickle fork to loosen it because they almost always tear the grease boot. Smack the tie rod end or knuckle with a big hammer and it should pop loose while being careful to stay clear of the boot. Before I loosen the nut I put white out on the threads so I put it about the same spot when you put the new one on. LIke he said, loosen nut or sleeve and the end should just screw off.

V1G1LANT3 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Forgot that he really don't have to worry about the boot in this case..he's replacing it anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
