thanks, good call, I had thought so.

yes the bit shown on the video is childs play.. dont show the old part being loosened thats been on for like 20 years and stubborn as fuck to move.

I'm into my 2nd week trying to get the damn whole rod end off..I'm just going to get grinder on rod end and leave inner rod for another time...😮

Theres a lot more lying going on in this video than that!

@@abdulmohib8921make sure you're turning it the right way. The same thing happened to me.

Thank you for watching my video. Everything was loose and it's brief explanation of how to replace the tie rod.

Do you need the grunt and groan sound effects 😂

I work in a shop, it takes 7min when you get paid by book hours and DGAF....

@@corvairkid17 or if you have an angle grinder and a master inner tie rod tool 😂 very simple removal and install

He defo had help on the big inner nut...it is a bitch to get to and a bitch to get off with a car on stands on the deck

He never secured the boot on the inner side.

Plumber tap wrench is a excellent way , to open these inner tie rod ends DIY awesome thinking out the box idea 💡

Thank you

Thank you for watching my video. This video is a brief explanation of it like the tittle says.

@@PLAdventures Make sense :)

27 year old Volvo 850, mine popped out without struggle. 3 pound hammer was probably not even necessary.

@@matthewHizzleLol. or the cut off wheel.

Really, you've done so many and never had one easily come out? 😂I think you been very unlucky!

Probably have it at Walmart, buy and return

Only easy in KZfaq 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..

@@jujugohard4289 you can return the tool

@@stumpsteph2153 nope they allow it.

Yup she's good to go just easy on the bumps and don't worry about the car driving a straight 15° angle 😂

You still haven't. There was no ball joint removal in this video.

Thank you and thank you for watching my video I really appreciate it.

Thank you for watching my video. I am so happy it helped.

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. ;-)

no inner side boot clamp ?

Please read the title and thank you for watching my video.

Driving like Miss Daisy.

What a lame video.

Lol

He needs any video, even by women to see what a good video shows on "how to" videos.

What do you mean? How bad strut can destroy your tie rod end?

@@zigmskapanaits5680 yes sir and all of the above

Thank you for watching my video

Thank you for watching my video. I really appreciate it.

Thank you and thank you for watching my video.

RebeccaAndFamily thank you.

Thank you for watching my video I am glad it helped.

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.

@@PLAdventures Okay thanks for getting back to me :)

Thank you for watching my video. It's a brief explanation video

I am sorry you didn't get anything from watching my video. Thank you for watching.

@@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.

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.

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!

Thank you for watching my video.

That boot was too time consuming and wouldn't fit in this 7 MINUTE VIDEO. Who needs to know about the boot anyway?

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!

Thank you for watching my video. I would suggest to do both they since your doing the work it's not that much more the the outer.

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.

@@olenaerhardt7725 - interesting approach I’ve never even used red. Blue works fine for me almost everything it’s torqued properly

Thank you for watching my video. This video was a brief description of how to change it. Some vehicles are easier than other to replace it.

MakeupByMika Thank you.

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.

Your alignment will be so affected that your tires will wear unevenly, and very quickly!

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!

Thank you for watching my video. It was 2001 Subaru outback 2.5.

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

So the tie rods connect to the steering rack.

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. 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! My 2 cents dropped on the way out. Cheers ;-)

@@crpth1 . Thanks for the advice, good point. However it's a moot point now as I have sold the HHR. I WILL apply your advice if I decide to do that kind of work again in the future.

Thank you for watching my video. Even in the description it says brief explanation.

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.
