Have you hold counter tension while you were tightening inner rod with that special tool? There is part of steering rod made for you to place spanner tool to counter that tightening force of your special tool. Btw, how many Nms you used for that inner rod? TQ
What you need to know with no BS or redundant padding. One of the best home-made maintenance vids I have ever watched. So well delivered. Better even than most pro-made, shiney workshop promotional stuff. Thanks Jon. Will subscribe right now.. Just one question. On the inner end you show us a special tool for the hex. Can it be done with a crows foot, or am I going to have to buy one ? If the latter, where from please. Thanks again - Keith
@keithw1119 Thank you *so much* for that lovely comment - it honestly means a lot to have positive feedback like that. Yes it can absolutely be done with a crows foot - I found it was rather slippy with that approach & since I had the special tool, I just used it, but as long as you’re careful with your purchase on the flats, a crow’s foot is fine. If you do want the special tool, here it is: geni.us/KXJa1 Hope that helps? Thank you again for the positive comment - made me so happy today 😊👍
@deathyyyyy really glad it helped you bud :-) I'm really sorry - I don't I'm afraid, I got them direct from Skoda but didn't keep the receipt. Hopefully you can find on eBay?
Great video mate helps a lot to understand how to remove the track rod
Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙏 Really glad it helped 🙂👍👍
What a life saver! Really detailed video and not full of professional terms! Awesome!
My kind channel, swears like a trooper, parts constantly seized and stuck. Real mechanic talk :)
Nice one. I used a crows foot when I did mine which worked but it wasn't easy getting the inner rod undone. The special tool you used looks good.
@dirtbagd89 Glad it helped pal. Yes - the tool really helped to do it easily :-)

Good job you did there , do you remember the bolt size of the inner track rod , the one you used special tool ?
@JorgestHysen Glad it helped :-) Thank you for the comment - I think it might have been 19mm but it was a while ago now I'm afraid..
Do I need to do wheel alignment after changing my tie rods?
@tulelamunyika Yes absolutely - you will burn up your tyres pretty quick if you don't :-)
Hi, thanks for the video, very helpful and descriptive. Do you have the part numbers for the gaiter clips?
