Why is the close captions on your video so funny lol.
need to pull the Inner tie rod off on my 2000 Golf.
That was actually quite helpful! Usually I’m swearing at the guy in the
video for more details. Not that I’m a mechanical genius, but I wasn’t
doing that. Good video! Helpful! I think a couple people may have been on
to something with the impact and torquing specs but overall well
illustrated and a good explanation! Thanks man your doin a hell of a
service!
Well done sir
great video. very informative. thanks. the best lesson i learned was the
break over night lol. i probably would not have been so patient and broke a
few things trying to break locked nut
I was also looking for the torque specifications for this procedure. Thank
you
I am having a Hell of a time trying to find the e end of the special tool.
I can find the bar, but not the other piece, thus far. What is it actually
called, and where did you get yours? Thanks
was not sure witch lock tight to use thanks kc
great video…can’t help but notice the monty python captions
inners come with red lockttte. And never use an impact gun with the inner
tie rod tool
Why did you skip the install with the specialized tool? Torque? Just go
snug tight? You went from showing the blue loctite application but then
skipped what is really an important part of the install. How tight do you
torque the inner tie rod on the rack & pinion? Thx if you can let me know.
Other than that it’s a great video Nick.
Same car same problems you tube and a mechanics manual for all of us
diyer’s straight forward video with enough info and not confusing great
video
I love the captions!!!
I replaced the inner tie rod end. The inner tie rod end connects the
steering rack to the outer tie rod end. The outer tie rod end connects the
inner tie rod end to the wheel hub assembly. The two pieces are separate so
that they can be adjusted to align the vehicle.
The inner tie rod end comes greased. Depending on your vehicle it may be
difficult to reach the side of the boot closer to the steering rack, I used
a long angled needle nose pliers to tighten the ziptie.
And did you replace the inner or outer rire rod end, or is there a
difference?
whats the name of the special tool and how much is it
Ok thanks does the boot leak water inside after you put a little slice in
it? Is it possible to do with out slicing it?
Hey man no question just want to say thank you your video helped a lot and
saved me some money, really appreciate it
Sure it’s possible to do it without slicing it, but it helps. I very much
doubt you will have any trouble with leaks, mostly the boot just needs to
keep dust out of the joint.
Was it difficult to reach the zip tie to tighten it back in place? Thanks
for the video. I wondered how to do this kind of tie rod. I m used to the
old kind. Did you need to grease the inner tie rod before you slid the boot
on it?
A floor jack and jack stands. <$30 worth of tools at a harbor freight.
Awesome, glad to hear!
i heard that on a dodge neon 04 srt 4 u have to use a different tool on the
inner tie rod since its round and not square
That sounds very strange to me. They are usually not square, but round with
flat sides on it.
Just an “Inner tie rod end removal tool”. You can typically rent it for
free from an auto parts store.
What do you need for jacking up the Jetta?
