    inner tie rod help

    gonna try to replace these this weekend. Never done these, do I need any special tools or whatnot? Also, on the inner tie rod, how do I remove those little pins or whatever they are before I loosen the rod itself? I've included a pic of the same style inner as I have below to show what the hell Im trying to ask. I thought my new ones would have instructions but they don't. Doesn't look like its that hard, but just thought I'd ask. Thanks!

    yes, tap out the pins and then just turn the nut with a wrench, and there might be a c clip in there aswell, i dont remember since the last time i did it

      uh, you have to drill it out.

        I just put a large wrench on it and sheer the pin . After you thread off the tie rod the rest just falls out . It doesn't sound good but it does not take much pressure to do it . If you drill it out you may open up the hole on in the rack arm and the new pin could be loose . I do these allot .

          doesn't leave anything in the holes on the rack? The other half of the sheered pin?

            Nope , falls right out . Worst case you can use an awl and push it thru till it falls out .

                Its sounds screwy but thats how it works . The first one I did weirded me out a little but its easy . Glad you got it fixed . Did you get it aligned yet ?
