My OEM tie rod adjustment sleeve has been damaged (cracked) and needs to be replaced so I can have my front end aligned after a front strut replacement.

I have never performed this job and it appears that I need to remove the outer tie rod, loosen the pinch bolt, and then unscrew the adjustment sleeve. I need to reverse the order to replace the adjustment sleeve and tie rod end.

Do you have any advice on this job? I am planning to leave threads on both sides to allow adjustment, but I cannot find any guidance on what exactly to do.

Can you assist?

Sounds like you got the idea of replacing it just count the amount of turns on each side of the sleeve so you will b close on the new sleeve when you have to go drive it to get it aligned.
