Thank you freaking saved me on this

You are life saver. You saved me so much time and hassle. I tried holding the inner tie rod with groove joint plier and a combination wrench with my left hand and twist the outer tie rod with the other wrench with my right hand and those didn’t work. I tried the locking pliers and leaned it on an object. It worked perfectly. What is also good about this method is that I was also able to lean the rod against the knuckle for additional leverage. Awesome tip video.

My inner one is stuck on my 06 Silverado. Couldn’t even free it with the tie rod tool from auto zone. I gave up. Truck won

Doing this tmrw. I wanna count the spins so I can get it close enough to take to the shop for alignment. Thanks bruh

THANK YOU!

I am stuck just right there at the moment.

I read that you can use the crank pulley to seat the wear ring

Those talking about a torch: I also thought I might need to go buy a torch. Because it STILL wasn't budging. But first I thought why not just try holding a Bic lighter underneath it? I did just that a few times...and combined with the technique in this man's video it finally came loose! I have lighters on hand because I prep and being able to start a fire for cooking, etc is important. But if you don't have a lighter pick one up - I'm sure it's cheaper than a torch at HD or Lowes and might save you the gas driving there. Hope it works for you!

You really need to use the 303-761 & 303-762 seal installer and sleeve remover to do this job without leaks or damaging a crankshaft. The special tools are expensive but worth it in the long run. There are some Chinese clones that are cheaper than OTC/Rotunda OEM which might work well for several jobs.

Tyty

I was doing it on a Honda accord. I could not get any leverage at all so I ended up using a MAP torch to get it real hot and then hit it with my Astro Pneumatic air hammer and thank goodness it worked.

Thank you

Tool for the locking strip insertion runs to the cost of 1½ metres of rubber, and given I will buy 10 metres it ain't worth the hassle not to get the tool. Especially with the perspex in danger of getting scratched if I slip with a (say) screwdriver. The hardest job I see (not started yet) is getting the perspex in after the rubber is in the caravan. Someone suggested string round the rubber (twice) and when you pull it lifts the rubber. But that means putting onto perspex first then offering up to outside of van. 2 person jobbie.

youre still screwed if the lock nut won't move, theres no way to adjust toe in. removing the rod end is easy, now what.

when all else fails, heat it til red hot.

Do you put any product on the gasket agains the glass and the métel? Or is all with pressure?

Anybody know what happens when we do all this and it still won't break lose of screw off???? Changed all control arms upper and lower, cv axles and joints! All four! Down to one more control arm that is stuck!

thank u bro ! gonna try this tomorrow

Heating multiple times till almost white in eastern Canada & the damned thing still wont unscrew even secured like that, seems like Stuck has a different meaning over here !

i'm having problem with this removing that bolt there's no rust at all.. whoever tightened that alignment screws an asshole...

Thank you

Spend 2 hours trying to free the spinning Tie Rod then came across your Video! Life Saver! Mega Thanks!

Fought with mine for two days before coming across this video. Huge life saver. Thanks!!!

I used a tire lever too! Getting the lock-in is difficult though. Thanks for the video!

gonna try this cuz mine is not budging! Thanks!

Thank you for your information you save my time here Good bless you

This is not seized lol 🤣

I winder is it easier/necessary to remove the inner tie rod as well and also replace that at the same time? or just can remove the outer one? mine is seized and cant do wheel alignment due to this, so i wonder if i should replace both inner + outer tie rods or just the outer? thanks for any advice

Your videos are garbage as fuck bro

I didnt notice there were ridges on the inner tie rod. I didnt have vice grips but put a wrench in there a stuck it against body. Prevemted it from spinning. Good tip.

Wowww, can't loose the outer tie rod end for shit! and my lower control arm is in a weird position where the vice grip cannot reach. Thinking to try it again this evening by using a pipe wrench for leverage some how

I just got mine, after struggling for hours. Trick is it's much easier to break the jam nut loose before disconnecting anything else. I had to reinstall the old tie rods back into the steering knuckle, then whack the jam nut loose with a wrench tapped with a hammer.

Your using cresent wrench wrong.moveable part should be underneath

Great tip for such an annoying situation!

Nice. Didn't think of using the other end of the rod as a vice holder. My setup is different, as I have a straight bar across, but this unlocked the best idea possible to get those ends off. Thanks a million!

Hi bro! How do you remove the tierod if the previous owner used loctite on it

Best way is a bit of heat like a heat gun to help the bolt expand a lil bit and it frees easily then

This was super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to make the video

These kind of videos are the one that deserve awards

Haven't yet achieved to remove the bolt/nut... But once I do, I'm fairly sure the rod end will be stuck as well. Your piece of advice will be super useful, thanks. (My car has been sitting on jacks in the street for 3days already cause a supposedly 2h job took me already 8h and I'm still counting. Every single bit has been tough to take apart, even though it's not very rusted. I don't understand, but that's how it is.) Thanks to y'all folks posting protips online for people like me who desperately need that.

Also I forgot to mention you want to put that one bolt by the high pressure line in first when re installing the pump onto the truck! You can get one of the other bolts started to hold it but if ypu go too far it will press the bolt into the line.

Thanks for the info bro..

No. First step for anyone having a REAL problem is spray down tie rod threads with penetration oil for a week every day, then try to unscrew with two wrenches and a hammer.. If you have a torch, you can spray with oil for 24 hrs then try to unscrew your tie rod end while heating with a torch. If that doesn't work, you have to get new tie rods. Don't forget to ask you local auto parts store if they loan tie rod adapters so you can remove the tie rod assembly. Get it right 👍

I ‘m assuming you’re aluminum skin is .030 thick? I bought the one-piece trim-lok (LK1522 for 1/16” and 1/4” glass )locking gasket thinking I could build my cargo trailer window into the.030 skin. Can you please tell me what dimension substrates your two-piece Trim-Lok was designed for? It looks like it would be much tighter than mine (which I’m just now cutting the hole for). Thanks!

Appreciate you

Good tip, thanks for the help!

Terrible video 👎🏼

I hope u count how many turns it took to take it off so u can put the new one on with the same count

Going through the same issue right now!! Didnt think to use the vice grips as reinforcement to take off the rod!! U the man
