If you think you simply turn the assembly to remove the inner you are going to be disappointed! The hard part that was left out is breaking the inner loose.
Thanks for your time and for the choice in music . No talking during install and no singing in the music , 2 huge thumbs up for that . You listed all the tools used and how to subscribe , but no mention of the songs title or where to find it . This was the second video I've seen showing the type of rubber bellow / boot that I have on my truck . Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas .
very helpful. I like it when there is no talking just showing and quickly like this. No-one needs to see the taper joint being cracked or the inner union being de-torqued! Interesting tool you used for the inner union nut as there is not much room to get a long spanner in there. Another tool for this is a plumbers tap wrench (easier to source).
I have replaced numerous tie rod ends. This guy must be a magician. Have never seen an outer tie rod come out so easy or the inner for that matter. Must have already been loosened.
Nice vid PL... don't usually go for music with vids but in this case it was a big plus ...would like to know what year that impala is though, but great video and a lot of help - like the soothing guitar work, thank you very much as recording is a difficult thing, your approach to it works well, at least it does for me.
Step by step instructions and explanations along the way are for losers. So much effort is wasted trying to listen and understand each part of the process. Seriously, who has time to actually learn and comprehend the task at hand. This guy is on to something, 5min with him and you'll be conquering all aspects of auto maintenance. I give this video a big thumbs up followed by 2 middle fingers.
Like; for throwing tire under pinch rail for safety. Rusty bolts and breaker bars are how you roll cars off jackstands. Tire has greater surface area than a jack when the car is Rusty and crushes on a jack.
Unless you're working on a vertical axle, ALWAYS apply the force in a downward direction. Not only it allow to use you body weight. But totally avoid that mishappen! The most common example we can see. Is people removing a tire. For that, too many try to "lift" the bar. Absolutely incorrect. Beside kills your back. Like we say in my country, "Going down, all Saints help"! LOL 😂 In this case gravity is your friend, use it. ;-)
Only easy in UA-cam videos . Even removing the Outer tire rod can take Hours without a dedicated tool. Applying Red loctite means that rascal will be V tough to remove... next repair. Although a second Inner tie rod is unlikely.
What are you talking about he used a special tool and you gotta remove the tie rod and and that could be stuck I had to pay and extra 25 dollars on a tool for that..
How was the inner band clamp for the bellows not clamped tightly? What sort of a two-piece tool was that used on installing the inner tie rod end? How do I get my hands on one? Lots of unanswered questions, and only a few answered questions by your video.
Rose Kaseweter sorry it took 4 weeks for someone to respond. But if you google inner tie rod removal tool. You’ll find an array of brands of tie rod removal tools. I bought mine from harbor freight for $30 with a 20% off coupon. Hope this helps!
Hello thankyou for making video. I have a question. I replaced my outer tie rods last year because of uneven tyre wear, now a year later my wheels rock side to side 9 to 3 oclock can inner tie rod wear make this happen? I didnt change my inners just the outers.Thankyou for any advice you give.
Hello thank you for watching my video. Yes it can. If you rock the wheel side to side and feel popping it's probably tie rod. Sometimes it can be your steering. My advice it to move the wheel back and forth and look at both inner and outer tie rod. If you cant see it a yourself another set of eyes would be helpful.
Please, do you happen know the torque specification for that end of the inner TR, which goes towards the car, which you removed with the special tool. At least approximately. Or maybe you can tell what would be another name for the "steering rack body" where the inner TR is attached? I'm trying to determine the torque specifications for the inner tie rod (the end that goes towards the car) and can't find in the book (Haynes). There is no name as "steering rack body". Probably there is a synonym for it. Thank you for the film.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the torque specs you need a narrow wrench to hold the rack in place while you tighten it He didn’t do this in either part of the video loosening or tightening. There’s a shoulder on the rack for a wrench and it’s that specific purpose. It’s not put there for no reason. Tighten it down securely and with Loctite and the locking washer he should be good to go.
@@condor5635 Thank you very much for that explanation on the narrow wrench. I'll try to look for the shoulder on the rack for the wrench. You know I changed Inner TRs on the second car without that procedure w/wrench, like most of the authors on you-tube. I would wish to know it before. I assume not every car is sensitive to omitting this wrench application when loosen or tighten Inner TRs. I've read some comments somewhere, that the rack should be protected somehow, but no details were given. The last car was 2003 Chevy Cavalier, I found from multiple sources (mainly fm e-manual) and did 74 Ft-lbs. and used Red Thread Locker. The car is driving normally, same as Saturn 2001, but maybe there was some damage done to the rack. When I removed the boot on the driver side on Chevy, there was some steering fluid there. I wanted to add Lucas, but the level of the new steering fluid (I replaced it) is the same. It might be a very small leak in that rack which reveals yourself after many years. Both boots were dry on Saturn. Thank you kindly again for pointing on important question.
@@olenaerhardt7725 - Not sure I use red thread locker. If you have a locking washer you really don’t need anything if it’s installed properly maybe blue thread locker but definitely not red. Some cars may not have the shoulders. In that case it’s probably designed not to do it. But if they have shoulders they’re obviously there for that reason. Whatever wrench you use you won’t have much room in there. I had my friend hold it while I tightened
@@condor5635 I'd better use torch to disconnect another, but whenever choice between Red and Blue, I would apply Red. I also have impression that if you apply PB Bluster even on Red, it will disconnect without a torch. I think there was some Red on Saturn Inner TRs (fm dealer) since I saw some red marks there, I disconnected without torch. But can't say for sure if it was Red Threadlocker there or not. I even didn't have OEM set at that time and used same poor tool set, which is used in this film. I thought that it would be a question how to use both: wrench and Inner TR tool, unless you secure the wrench against smth how it is normally done on the Outer TR, or really need to call someone for help. I think Chevy is the worst on space for Inner TRs. The most complicated part of the project for me was to change the boots.
My inner rod broke off next to the nut holding the outer rod together. Do I have to but both the in er and outer or do I but the inner and just tru to get the rest of the rod out of the outer
when doing this dont take off the track rod end.. bring out the whole tie rod complete. now measure from the centre of the tie rod end close to wheel to the end of the threads at the other end. then when refitting you can simple and accuratly replace the newe set up on the car and steering will be exactly the same.. measuring threads does not work because each tie rod can have the threads start ina different place and new tie rod ends can be longer or shorter !!! so measure the whole assembly before taking outer tie rod off......
All you have to do is remove the outer tie rod first and count how many spins it takes to get it off either way you will need to get an alignment done the fact that you have to replace a tie rod means your alignment was already bad it makes little difference putting it back the way it already was.
@@PLAdventures, This was the stupidest video for the tie rods. No good information was found or heard. Only an guy who doesn't know how to explain anything or the measuring and torque specs would make a video like this. Terrible video.
I only counted the turns to get the alignment as close to the old one as possible. If he didn't count the turns I would suggest getting an alignment done.
Mata Rochas - Notice that, ANY work involving steering components should ALWAYS end up with a steering alignment! No but's or maybes! It's that simple. So even if the turns are not counted, it really doesn't matter because the vehicle should not go further than the alignment shop down the street... It's worth to understand that regular vehicle usage and component wear will affect steering enough, to oblige the occasional alignment. Which most neglect! Direct intervention on worn out components make it mandatory! BTW A really misaligned steering can "eat" a new set of tires, in less than 1000km! Particularly evident on front traction vehicles! That should keep things into perspective! Compare that with a brand new vehicle, properly driven, where tires can last ten's of thousands of km's!
Firestone and Midas estimated me $400-600 with parts to replace inner/outer tie rods for 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan. I found parts for $36, tool $14, grease $14. Now it is Coronavirus time just nothing to do at home. I watched already several utube demonstration including this one. 7 min? Let's try for 70 min passenger and driver side. Driver will needs more because of worthier location. But, still a question for here: you did not install Bellow Boots METAL CLAMP. I ques this is very important part and very complicated job?
This guy only showed a third of the vidio never heard him grunt one time I've changed many of them this one is fairly easy there are several different kinds he still cant do this kind start to finish in under an hour.
Wait. Isn’t this the outer one? What about the inner? That’s what I’m trying to learn. Are the connected or something? Is this really the inner? Please help me ASAP guys! I’m trying to learn the most I can. A girls trying to save some money over here!
Hi, props for being a girl and getting your hands dirty! Inner tie rods connect to the steering rack, as in the video he is screwing it in with the big pipe socket tool. Outer tie rods are the one with the bushing and the nut that tightens onto the inner one. Hope it helps
mushlove Thankyou! People are actually super surprised when they find out that I’ve fixed my own vehicles! I just replaced an old CDT valve in my 02 Lexus Gs430 a few months ago and people doubted me every second of the way! But, I came out strong and now my car is running like a dream again! I admit, it does take me a hell of a lot longer to do vehicle work than your typical man though. I’m not near as strong lol. Either way, I get it done. All without even chipping my long sparkly nails 😂👌💪 I just love testing my capabilities and learning about new things all while also saving money! Thankyou for your fast response and help! I really appreciate it and I fully understand where the inner tie rod is now. Thankyou!!!
@@kyndale449 if you have haters youre doing something right! I need this on my 93 mr2 badly, probably the same ones from factory. Glad to help! Make sure you get an alignment anytime you replace or move around any suspension component. Find lifetime alignments (firestone has them) so you dont pay everytime you get one.
I replaced just the OUTER tie rods only about 9 months ago and not many miles due to the shutdown. The idea was I'd wait a few months and then approach the inners, yet the nuts are already rusted or frozen when I attempt to remove the recently-replaced outers, so the upshot is I can't get to the inners because I can't remove the outers. The ride is a Chevy HHR. Believe me GM cuts corners anywhere they can, the fasteners are the most obvious low-end components, and the materials are quite cheap too. I'm sure GM doesn't invest in quality for their smaller cars, they are too greedy and cost-burdened as I see it.
@@michaellombard894 - From a guy living in a country where rust has it's own citizenship card! LOL 😂 ALWAYS clean and lubricate EVERY single thread you touch with anti seize compound.

LMMFAO! You OBVIOUSLY HAD EVERYTHING LOOSENED, AND BALL JOINT POPPED OUT OF NUCKLE! You cant pull the boot off without first removing the inner clamp off, and YOU CANNOT unscrew the inner tie rod by hand without first breaking it loose with a tool! What a clown show!

Its not rocket science but getting that tool to take the inner rod off is the handy tool.
Probably have it at Walmart, buy and return
I really liked how the rack end can be removed without dismantling the tie rod first and how strong those fingers can undo the claw washer.

LMMFAO! You OBVIOUSLY HAD EVERYTHING LOOSENED, AND BALL JOINT POPPED OUT OF NUCKLE! You cant pull the boot off without first removing the inner clamp off, and YOU CANNOT unscrew the inner tie rod by hand without first breaking it loose with a tool! What a clown show!
Thank you for watching my video did you see the title it said brief explanation.
@@PLAdventures No, no, no no no! You made it "appear" to be a job that you, as Superman can do in less than 7 minutes! Nice try, clown!
Kinda defeats the purpose of the video when everthing has been pre-loosened.
It is a brief description of how to do it. If someone has not done it before, it shows how to do it. The title states brief and it is only a 7 min long.
@@PLAdventures You do realize people with no knowledge will watch this video and think it's a 7 min job, and everything comes loose by hand?
This video belongs in the trash. That's the computer "trash can" for this video.
So much BS
Thank you for watching my video. Even in the description it says brief explanation.
