    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.

    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).

      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.

    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.

    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.

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.

      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!

      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!!!

      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.

    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!

    Unless I missed something, that's actually the outer tie rod.

      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.

      ALWAYS clean and lubricate EVERY single thread you touch with anti seize compound. Be it copper grease, aluminium grease, etc. Whatever your preference or application demand.
      I'll repeat ALWAYS!
      It will totally avoid what you just described. Over time it will save you ridiculous amounts of sweat, swearing and all the rest that comes with hellish job's!
