Actually it is rather easy.
1) Jack Up Car
2) Remove wheel
3) Remove outer tierod end and jam nut
4) Remove Rack boot
Sounds like you have 1~4, now for the hard part
5) Extend the tierod into the wheel well you are working on, look close =
at the back end of the tierod where it meets the the rack bar. You will =
notice that is basically a large bolt head either 30mm or 32mm can't =
remember for sure.
6) take your wrench and slide it in the gap directly below the tie rod =
end (that is the gap between the control arm and horn. You can remove =
the control arm but I have found no need to do so.
7)remembering righty tighty and lefty loosey, start removing the inner =
tie rod. There is no jam nut on the inner so put a little penetrating =
oil on it.=20
It will be a little tough at first but be patient, the is red lock tight =
on the threads.
Reverse procedure to install.
