How to Replace an Inner Tie Rod End
How to replace inner tie rod ends. In this video, we will learn how to remove and replace an inner tie rod end on your car or truck. If you notice a knocking noise in the front end of your vehicle by turning the wheel left or right, chances are you need a new tie rod replacement. This can cause noise, wandering in the steering wheel while driving, vibration on acceleration, and also will cause your alignment in the vehicle to be off. Its helpful to have a inner tie rod tool to aid in removal (Can be rented free at your local parts store), however, that is not always necessary as shown in the video.

    So I see plenty of air coming through that hose. I know it’s not coming from inside the brake system. Is there any concern of air being introduced to the system via the bleeder?

    Butt when you are bleeding the brake shouldn't there be no air coming out of the bleeder valve before you close off? In this video it seemed like a lot of air was still being vacuumed out. Only asking because I am going to do it soon.

      1. the 90degree fitting isn't sitting airtight on the nipple - better use a hose and attach it with a zip-tiser 2. Air is constantly sucked in from the bleederscrews thread 3. My conclusion: vaccum-pump bleeding is confusing, i prefer gravity bleeding when i'm doing it on my own

    It's much better to reverse bleed the brake lines because air bubbles always want to escape by rising to the high point which is the master cylinder reservoir. Follow this up by doing a 1 person blessing by opening the bleeder valve and pushing down on brake pedal forcing the fluid down into a bottle that has new brake fluid in the bottle so when you release the brake pedal the hose can only suck up the fluid. The air bubbles will escape on the bottle of fluid by rising when you push down on the brake pedal.

    I once flushed the brake lines of a '95 Ford Contour I had until 2015, but I did it a bit differently. I emptied out as much of the old fluid from the reservoir first, as in the prescribed method, but then, before I added new fluid, I bled out the old fluid from the lines until the entire system was as bone-dry as I could make it. Then, I added new fluid into the reservoir and bled it on through the lines until all the air was gone. I did it that way because I didn't want any of the new fluid to accidentally mix with the old, even a little bit. They are different densities by that point and I didn't know how visible the boundary between the new and old fluids would be. So I thought leaving an air gap between the new and old fluid in the beginning and bleeding it on through, would ultimately be safer. What's your take on this?

  • @hectorraigosa7149
    @hectorraigosa7149 Рік тому

    The problem with that system is, you have an uphill battle with air being drawn in through bleeder screws. One way of addressing that is removing screw and adding Teflon specific to petroleum products. The second way is just to replace bleeder screws with Russell speed bleeders.. compression methods are 50 50 % success rate at home. Two person is better..

  • @shiminowind
    @shiminowind Рік тому

    You dont always bleed breaks in this order. If you have anti lock brakes (ABS) you bleed it farthest from the ABS module which controles the fluid directed to each line. You need to bleed the air from the abs module as well and betten the module and the master cylinder otherwise you rintroduce bad fluid, contaminants and air.

  • @HatesPickup
    @HatesPickup Рік тому

    You are right on point because contaminated brake fluid will mess up the sensor in an ABS and some of those ABS specially the hybrid vehicle and electric vehicles cost an arm and a leg, one example is Tahoe hybrid with used ABS from eBay a whooping 1000 dollars. You can’t even buy new ones since manufacturing has stopped on them ABS actuators .I own an EV/ HEV repair shop and I always stress how important periodic brake fluid change to prolong life of the ABS system. Sometimes a fresh fluid change can reverse an ABS system that has started throwing codes. Sometimes moisture in the fluid causes sensor to go haywire. Luckily though they operate on very low current nothing gets fried

      Its been a year. Given the amounts of fluid removed, I would leave it off....make note of the level before you siphon the reservoir.... Its important due to pad wear. If it's, low and you fill it and someone pushes the pistons back later it could over flow....

    • @petersonautomotiverepair9062
      @petersonautomotiverepair9062 Рік тому

      Start with the further from the master cylinder and work your way to the closest. Each manufacturer has different designs/recommendations on the order, however, if you dont have access to that information try starting on the rears and move up to the front. Sometimes manufacturers will recommend pass front, pass rear, driver rear, then driver front in that order. Just really depends.

  • @wesleyrulz09
    @wesleyrulz09 Рік тому

    This is a very nice and straightforward tutorial, the only thing I would have mentioned is to pump the brake a few times to build pressure before driving, as you may not have full brake pressure right away after bleeding, and won't be able to stop quickly. Thanks for the video!
