I was wondering if there is a specific torque specification for the inner
tie rod ends? Most people I see typically just put them in as tight as they
go and it’s usually not a problem.

-.- i should pay attention when i take shit off next time. cause i didnt
count turns but i can see the thread corrosion. also i was putting the tie
rods upside down with the nut on the top of the spindle. holy crap im
retarded

I’m literally right in the middle of this. I got the outer tie rod off just
fine (just had to beat it with a hammer to get the ball joint out), but I
had to cut the end off of the inner tie rod off because I’m reusing the
boot and I couldn’t get that nut off at 1:39. I tried everything up to a
propane torch and wd40. That thing was so seized on there from 18 years of
driving. Good tutorial as always. Used a little silicone spray to help the
boot slide off.

Smashing job :-))

I bet those new trackrod ends were quite close to the original settings, i
would be supprised if the people doing the alignment would have to move
them much more than one turn.
