![]() After finally going SR, (waiting on motor) I started working on the footwork, just wanted to post some questions here as far as how to go about.
How do I: Replace the inner rods? Is there a clip on the outside that i snap off and it should come off or??? Replace tension rods? Just the 3 17mm bolts? Should i prop the wheel up so there wont be some pressure on the rod? |

tie rod end:
hit the portion of the knuckle its stuck in with a metal hammer alot then tap it once from the top and it should pop out inner tie rod: as i said above. what exactly are you stuck on? the clip is not easy to get off. you basically need to break it. as for the inner tie rod, you're not going to get enough torque to screw it off with your bare hand. you need to get a wrench on the portion that is square shaped. |

1- take off the boot. It should be held in by a metal band that is twisted and a clamp on the other side.
2- take off the locking plate. Just pry it off. I think it is meant for one time use so you should buy a new one or use lock-tight on the new ones. 3- turn the inner tie rod off. I used adjustable wrenches. Tie rod end 1- Bend the pin straight and hit it out. You should be able to reuse this unless you roally fucked them up. 2- Take off the crown nut. 3- Use a ball joint remover, ball joint fork, or a hammer to remove them. If you use the fork or hammer it will mess them up so if you plan on reusing them then don't use it. Also when you loosen the crown nut, don't take it off completely. Leave it threaded on but loose.

Update:
Installed inner/outer rods. Went great....the only problem now, is that when i did install the inner rods, one of the wheels are turned in as if im turning even when one tire is straight. I took both front wheels off, installed both sides, but realize one hub was straight and the other was turned inwards. I know i'll need an alignment, but would it be that noticeable?? What did i do wrong? How do i fix it? Thanks. |

^hmm i thought i did that when i realized it was crooked, but i'll do it again in the morning time.
I'll look at the one straight, count threads, and then go from there as i adjusted one side already. thanks. |
