Safely remove wheel and support vehicle Remove cotter pin (its the thing that prevents the nut that looks like a castle from unscrewing) Remove castle nut- if the stud keeps turning then you must pry tie rod into or away from steering knucke at same time you loosen nut to remove if you do not have impact gun. If the tie rod doesn't come out of steering knuckle which is very likely you must hit steering knuckle with a large hammer. You will repeatly strike the steering knuckle only, not the tie rod- it is a left and right swing, not up and down. Don't be afraid of striking it too hard and a hammer for driving nails into wood is too light. before removing the tie rod from steering knucke take an open end wrench and loosen the nut that is right behind the outer tie rod (it is on the threads of the inner tie rod) with open end wrench or vice grips hold the inner tie rod in place and count how many times you unscrew outter tie rod when removing Applying anti-seize wouldn't hurt before installing new tie rod Screw new tie rod on as many turns as you removed old one- this will help keep your alignment correct. Tighten up all the parts you loosened and don't overtighten the new castle nut. Use the new cotter pin not the old one, and if there is a grease fitting you must add grease until you see rubber boot move (from filling with grease) Make sure lug nuts are tight and you should get an alignment
