SUSP: Tie rod install/ Removal

[Maple50175]

First Jack up the car and support it up with jackstands or other. Take wheel off. etc Make it look like the picture below.


Then you will want to get a 19mm Wrench and turn the nut to loosen it a TINY bit then you will need to go to the end of it where the 14mm bolt is and take the clotter pin out.



Next you are going to want to bang the crap out of the top of the bolt/tie rod end to get it seperated from the hub. as pictured below


Once it is loose you are going to loosen/twist the tie rod off from the nut you just undid till its all off.





Here is the new and old tie rod next to each other: blue thing is just a cover


Now to the same steps in reverse. Twist the new tie rod in. Get tighten the nut tight. Get the end up in the hub assembly use the new nut. MAKE sure you use the clotter Pin. it's a MUST


Then get it aligned the next day and Love your cb7.

Enjoy

Gotcha. BTW, card readers are pretty inexpensive. You wouldn't have to connect your camera and might transfer pics to the computer faster too. Just a thought.

[hpaccord91]

what u forgot to add or if u did not do it is count the rotation that it came off or messure to have as close as possible to alignment so when u go to put the new one back on they will be very close so u will not need an alignment but u shuld always get an alignment when u do one, u are right

but nice diy man helpfull to all
