Have to replace tie rod end
Want to know what tools are nessesary
What pullers, how these are designed.
Seems to have an aluminum collar in the steering knuckle
It should be an easy fix, just need the tools and details

Have a pro do it because it HAS to be aligned after replacement. If you dont' you will get severe tire wear very quickly

Willing to pay for alignment, not willing to pay someone to replace the end.
Thanks.

Remove bolt holding tie rod in along with cotter key. Loosen nut at end of tie rod. Smack where shown with double arrow with hammer so tierod will break loose or use a pickle fork tool to separate the end from spindle. Unscrew end and reverse for reassy.
