First you have to relieve the spring pressure off the strut. Ounce the spring pressure is off remove th lower balljoint off the knuckle this is connected to the lower control arm.
The strut goes through the control arm remove the nut on the end (21 mm) then go to the front of the car to the other end of the strut this is bigger nut loosen that one.
Push the control arm towards the back of the car this will free the control arm from the strut.then pull the strut out of the front grommet.

How do you change and outer tie rod for a 2000 Pontiac Grand AM?
Remove wheel at that side. Loosen jamb nut (on inner tie rod.) Remove cotter pin, outer tie rod to strut, if equipped. Remove nut, outer tie rod to strut just a bit. If a ball joint separator (separator fork) of suitable size is available, separate tie rod end from strut using said fork, otherwise repeatedly strike strut (sharply) near tie rod with a large (5 lbs. to 20 lbs.) hammer until it comes free. Turn the outer tie rod end counterclockwise until it comes out of the car. Put a bit of wheel bearing grease on the threads of the inner tie rod end. Screw outer tie rod onto inner tie rod until it contacts jamb nut; then, back off until orientation is correct to insert into strut. Tighten nut. If equipped, install cotter pin. Install wheel. Perform wheel alignment.

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.

Extend the piston fulley on the new strut and slide it back into the mount/ spring assembly Tighten the top nut in the center of the upper mount (new one comes with new strut) Make sure the spring is in the correct position when you put it back together and reverse the instructions to install. You will need an alignment!! Check the upper mount bearing before reusing
