    - Brian's right - the side bolt helps retain the shaft. Once that is out you should be better off. - TwoSeven 2014-04-05 14:09:19 (191 views)
    - pound out or thread out? Gabor, what breaks that you were referring to? - pkrasusky 2014-04-05 13:50:44 (199 views)

        yes, knock out the pinch bolt...it prevents removal of the rod end.  -  BrianC72gt  2014-04-05 15:17:07 (253 views)

        Boot clamps are single-use from the factory - I first tried the zip ties that came with the tie rods  -  TwoSeven  2014-04-06 09:00:37 (262 views)
        
        No special skills needed - special tools, yessir.   -  TwoSeven  2014-04-05 17:11:14 (251 views)
        
        Thanks Brian / Sam. Do you need to use a spring compressor to remove rear OE springs?  -  pkrasusky  2014-04-05 19:28:41 (258 views)
        
        Seems to be the case from everyone else's experience. You'll certainly unbolt less stuff that way.  -  TwoSeven  2014-04-06 08:57:58 (226 views)
- Just do the inners when you do the outers - inch and a half crowfoot on a meaty breaker bar. - TwoSeven 2014-04-05 10:58:49 (254 views)
  - source or part num for inner or dealer only? - cjmiller 2014-04-06 10:35:08 (195 views)
    - I got Lemfoerder tie rod assemblies from ECS Tuning, link inside. - TwoSeven 2014-04-06 21:27:26 (304 views)
- Turn it until it comes out or breaks. You will replace it anyway. - TozoM8 2014-04-05 10:17:08 (224 views)
- heat not an option ? - BrainMushmouthIsTehDevil 2014-04-05 09:57:36 (209 views)
