i am installing new turbo tie rods and am wondering what is the best way to remove the old ones, specifically the articulated bushing that holds the u shaped connection on the old ones. does it just unscrew form the steering linkage? is it best to remove the tie rod first and then remove the bushing or do it all at once?

Knock (or fork or press) the tie rods out and then just unscrew (you may need to use tools). Be nice.
Do you need to save the boots/bellows or do you have new ones? If you need to re-use be careful. I wouldn't worry about the joint in the middle. |
