well i seperated the tie rod from the knuckle but now i find that it appears as though the tie rod nut is stuck and rusted so any ideas on how to get this off?
schools starts in a few minutes and i have removed wheel, cotter pin, nut and now i am stuck i have no idea how to use this tie rod puller can someone show me a diagram or picture of where to put it i cant get the tie rod to budge
actually i live in corvallis, so half a 1/2 a tank is to far to drive, but i already bout the tie rod ends at autozone surprisingly enough they were bout under $25 a piece with life time warranty's so not a bad deal.
i thought there was an inner and outer tie rod on the front
and what about the rack and pinion
so this is the left (outer) tie rod that i assume i am needing to replace in this image...right?
sorry its so big
is this a day long job or how many hours might i be looking at? ok and i just want to when i went by les schwab this is the quote i got it says 2 ES2277L TIE ROD END @ $40.30 a piece so $80.60 total 2 TIEROD ENDS/RACK AND PINION INSTALLATION @ $64.75 a piece so a total of $129.50 1 ES2109R TIE ROD END @ $40.86 1 ES2110L TIE ROD END @ $40.96 So is that for all four tie rods? or is that just the front, what exactly do i need to purchase to replace just the front two that are rusted? and do i need the 2 TIEROD ENDS/RACK AND PINION INSTALLATION ? and where is the best place to get them Thanks btw i could not find the tie rods and midwestz.com if they are there could i get a direct link?
first off what is a tie rod puller, and what might it look like and where do i get it does it look like some kind of fork thing? and how do i use the tie rod puller to put tension on the tie rod. oh and how long can i expect this to take
the front left tie rod on my 260z is rusted over according to les schwab an it can not be alligned they said the tie rods need to be replace, so i guess i need to know how to remove and replace a tie rod fairly close to step by step if possible thanks
