If there are any engineers out there, why would an auto maker use an odd size like 13/16ths? I can't picture 3/4 being insufficient
why would you never want to loosen a castle nut?
I have the exact vehicle same color and all and the tie rods may need replaced soon, very helpful tip on the alignment nut!
Also, mevotech supreme, besides Mevotech TTX, is the best parts for this vehicle! You can grease them as much as you want because they have a one way overflow valve
Or you could count the turns
Not bad Chris but if you want the new one exactly where the old one was just count the number of turns to take the old one off and screw in the new one the same number.
Why did you create 3 videos on tie rod replacement, Chris? Are they different?
thank you so much for posting this man. the breaker bar, penetrating fluid and torch were an absolute must. saved myself hundreds of dollars. the dealer ship wanted like $400 lmao. parts were around $100 it was accumulating the tools that costed more but now I have em for life! now onto my lower control arms. cheers!!!!
Ur #1 fan from manila
Can anyone help me I already took the tire rod end out of the ball part but when unscrewing it it’s stuck I tired wd40 and heating it up it won’t budge
Niiiiice👏🏼❤️
I just put a new sway bar for my Oldsmobile silhouette. Had to remove the tie rods to install the bar to fit underneath. When I tried to remove the nut, the entire part spun inside & with no way to hold it secure, the nut stayed on. The only way I could remove it was to use a cutting wheel to cut the nut & shaft flush to the surface. It came out easily with a pickle fork.
I hadn't planned on replacing them but, that just added to the aggravation & extra cost.
Yea that fluid mix for removing nuts and parts has been great for me.
Thanks!
Where do you buy parts?
