Removal

NOTICE: When servicing inner tie rods, install a new bellows boot and clamps. The boots and clamps are designed to provide an airtight seal and protect the internal components of the steering gear. If the seal is not airtight, the vacuum generated during turning will draw water and contamination into the gear, causing failure of the steering gear components. Zip ties must not be used as they do not provide an airtight seal.

NOTICE: The inner ball joint grease is not compatible with water contamination. Do not allow water to become trapped in the grease or degradation and failure of the joint may occur.

NOTE: If the RH inner tie rod is being serviced, remove the LH outer tie rod end and bellows boot to access and hold the steering rack when loosening and tightening the inner tie rod.

  1. Remove the tie rod end.
    Refer to: Tie Rod End (211-02 Power Steering, Removal and Installation).
  1. Remove the tie rod end jamb nut.

    1. Remove and discard the outer bellows boot clamp.

  1. NOTE: Move the bellows boot enough to gain access to the inner tie rod nut.

    Position aside the bellows boot.

  1. NOTICE: Place the steering gear at the center position and hold the steering gear rack while loosening the tie rod. Use an appropriate-sized wrench on the flat/teeth of the rack to resist rotation and to prevent damage during removal of the tie rod.

    Using an appropriate-sized wrench on the flat/teeth to hold the rack and an appropriate size crows foot wrench or open end wrench, remove and discard the tie rod.
