i tried removing the driver side tie rod end, but i couldn't get it to unscrew. everytime i tried forcing it to unscrew, it seemed as though the bolt was moving inside the connection point to the wheel, if that makes any sense. is the long inner bolt supposed to move inside the housing? i was going to try to keep twisting, but i didn't know if i would just break.

 

put the pinch bolt back in to secure it, then unscrew the top part, then remove the pinch bolt. the pinch bolt is the bolt that squeezes the tie rod into the socket.

 

i'm not explaining it right. i mean the rod that screws into the steering itself.. with the locking nut. how do i unscrew that? it feels like the entire end is twisting inside around the bolt that its connected to.

 

o you mean the inner tie rod. im not sure, havent changed one of those.

 

when i secure the steering rack with a wrench, and try to unscrew the tie rod end, it moves inside because i guess its rubber inside. how do i go about unscrewing it? it feels like its just going to keep moving inside the harder i pull on it.

 

ok, nevermind, i just kept twisting it unscrewed.... problem is, assembling back together, broke the top bolt, how dangerous is this? i figure the side bolt that clamps it through the groove should be enough for now, right? if not... yeah, fun times are ahead lol

 

I would just get a new one. It should be included with it. They are pretty inexpensive. I had a heck of a time unscrewing mine because it was seized.
