Re: TECH [PS tie rod boot replacement]

["Brian Wagner" <scirocco_88_16v@hotmail.com>]

Your right a piece of cake.

Save yourself an alignment and count how many turns it takes to remove the 
outside tie rod end.

If it needs an alignment anyway leave the outer clamp off then get it 
aligned, when complete put it on.

Just a thought
