Well done mate. Great video and fantastic to see a young man getting to grips/ willing to work on his own car - and be honest enough to show all his mistakes. Good on ya!

[@GrindingGearsOfficial]

Cheers dude! Have a good one :)

[@andrewriley80]

I'll be doing this to my R53 with seized tie rods. Should be able to handle it now. Thanks for the vid! 🙌

[@GrindingGearsOfficial]

No worries mate. Glad it helped!

A pvc pipe to slide over the end of the ratchet gives you more torque.

[@GrindingGearsOfficial]

Or a bigger breaker bar 👍🏼

In the US here, I was SO confused about my right tie rod(passenger side) had this little collar and was a completely different design than the left(driver side) and when trying to do a quick eyeball alignment I could NOT get that collar off. I’ll let my techs at work do my alignment and mess with it😂

[@GrindingGearsOfficial]

Yeah the collar was missed by me too. What a pain! Had to salvage it from the old toe rods

[@Highsteel21]

Wow 🤩 Really useful Thanks!

[@GrindingGearsOfficial]

Glad you found it useful!

manual says "tie rod to steering rack 80 Nm 59 ft-lb" ;)

[@GrindingGearsOfficial]

“Really tight” is fine 😄🤣

[@wojciechbiniek5936]

@@GrindingGearsOfficial yup, if your "really tight" means about 80-100 Nm, you are good to go ;)

​@@wojciechbiniek5936OEM in engineering manufacturing use a one size fits all torque figure set that is more to prevent factory mongs from Sheering and bollocksing thread and for mongo mechanics who don't really understand engineering principles beyond following fitter instructions lol. "Really tight" is just fine with a tie rod end nylock...
