How do you replace tie rod ends on a 1991 Chevy lumina?
Depending on which ones (inside,outside). Inside tie rod ends: slide back dust cover to expose the tie rod end. you will see a spot to place a wrench on the rack side. This will keep you from (twisting) damaging the rack and pinion unit while removing the tie rod end. Holding the rack with your wrench remove the tie rod end with a separate tool. Now for the outside tie rod end: With the wheel off, remove the cotter key from the tie rod bolt. Remove the nut that holds it to the strut. With a tie rod removal tool (pickle fork) wedge the tool between the tie rod end and the strut and pound the end of the tool with a hammer. This will properly remove the tie rod end from the strut. However, if you do not have a "pickle fork" you can use you hammer to drive the tie rod end out from underneath. I do not recommend you use a hammer on a good tie end. Also, count how many turns it takes to remove the tie rod end. Use this number of turns when replacing with the new one. This will @ least get you close to the original spot of the old one makking it safe to drive to get an immediate wheel alignment.

Reverse to install new but do not tighten the lock nut or nuts. Reinstall tire and lower car to ground. Take a tape measure and adjust the toe in. Lock the Lock nuts up solid.
