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.
