Properly support vehicle & remove wheel(s). (You may want to replace both sides if you are not trying to save money) Remove cotter pin from outter tie rod nut. Loosen nut half way. Use a small sledge hammer to strike steering knuckle where it holds tie rod stud (do NOT strike tie rod nut or stud). This will loosen outer tie rod from steering knuckle. When outer tie rod is loosened from steering knuck remove tie rod nut and tie rod. Count how many turns it takes to remove outer tie rod (make sure you hold inner tie rod shaft in place when doing so). This will help you get an accurate alignment when installing new part. To remove outer tie rod you must loosen nut (with open-end wrench) that is on inner tie rod shaft secured to outer tie rod. (Lefty loosey) Remove the rubber boot that houses inner tie rod (there is a fastener securing it to steering rack). Break fastener. Use inner tie rod tool to remove inner tie rod (turn left to remove). Install new part and secure inner tie rod boot with a zip tie. Ensure it is properly secured. Install outer tie rod (with as many turns as it took to remove) on new inner tie rod while holding inner tie rod shaft in place. You may use anti-seize (may come with new part) to place on threads of new inner tie rod. Install and do not overtighten any parts and use a new cotter pin on outer tie rod nut. Get alignment and your finished!
