Remove the outer tie rod and slide this over the arm to reach the "nut" that secures the inner tie rod to the rack. When removing the outer tie rod, don't be like my friend, the engineer - he removed the outer tie rod from the spindle and then was unable to remove the jam nut for the outer tie rod. So he called me, the bean counter who told him (much akin to the famous line from Young Frankenstein) - put the tie rod back...then remove the jam nut... >________________________________ > From: Anthony Pelletier <[email protected]> >To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; >"[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Monday, April 30, 2012 4:06 PM >Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] tie rod replacement > >You dont have to remove the rack.
