okay so our next little job tie rod end
00:20
the tie rod end
00:24
you can go on the end of the drag link
00:26
at the pitman arm or either side of the
00:32
tie rod and it’s normally this this part
00:36
right here is the same part as the tie
00:39
rod end on the driver’s side so it’s a
00:44
22 millimeter or 7/8 for this nut and
00:49
it’s a 15 millimeter for the adjusting
00:54
sleeve which holds this tie rod end to
00:59
the actually this is the drag link we’re
01:02
replacing a tie rod end to end on the
01:04
drag link so this slides into the drag
01:07
link and there’s a sleeve which that’s
01:09
what this is used for to turn the sleeve
01:14
to get the end out it’s a master craft
01:18
there’s the part number so this get you
01:27
comes with the zerk fitting for to put
01:30
grease in goes right there and a cotter
01:35
pin to slide in the castle nut so all of
01:39
this is going in luke’s Jeep mr. Bennett
01:48
and it’s going in right here because
01:53
yeah some play in his steering which
02:00
also has a rip in the boot
02:04
right there
02:10
right here so I’m gonna replace it
02:14
shouldn’t take too long
02:16
she fairly straightforward like I said
02:19
22 millimeter or seven ace on top of the
02:23
pitman arm up here and these are 15
02:28
millimeter which crank this sleeve down
02:31
to hold this end into the in the sleeve
02:37
and the rest of the sleeve goes onto the
02:39
drag link this is also how you adjust
02:43
your steering wheel if it’s crooked
02:45
you loosen these drive in straight
02:49
loosen these and you turn this sleeve
02:53
and that will rotate your steering wheel
02:55
one direction or the other and you’ll be
02:58
able to straighten it out instead of
03:00
having to take it to someone pretty
03:02
simple all right let’s get started
03:42
not usually doesn’t come off that easy
03:44
I did not loosen anything yeah these are
03:53
a good sign or a bad sign so before that
03:56
drops out I’ve got a pickle fork which
03:59
that’s what this is and if it just
04:01
doesn’t drop out stick this pickle fork
04:04
in between the the pitman arm this is
04:06
the pitman arm goes up to the steering
04:07
box he’s got to drop the pitman arm on
04:10
it because it drops it down because of a
04:12
lift so you stick this in there and hit
04:14
with a hammer and it pops that end out
04:16
but before that happens I want to loosen
04:20
this other
04:36
looks like I need to take this one one
04:44
side off
05:03
I too for any job whatever
05:10
okay so then when you get this loose I’m
05:14
gonna get my players a big plier so I
05:16
can slide this all the way off here and
05:19
then pop this end out of the pitman arm
05:24
and then what you want to do to get it
05:26
back to a rough basic
05:36
steer me set up so that you’re not all
05:38
over the road count the number of turns
05:41
out that this end comes so you want to
05:45
count the number of turns and you want
05:47
to put the new one back into the same
05:48
number of turns and immediately they’ll
05:52
get it aligned
06:27
a little bit
06:35
enough
06:41
here so it’s good this there’s not off
06:46
of here there’s a couple different
06:49
devices that you can use to pop this end
06:51
out like I said before this is a pickle
06:54
for that one didn’t work need a bigger
07:00
one
07:00
no big deal
07:10
slides right in there just like that
07:13
taking the plane get the wrench on it
07:16
we’ll just push it down
07:47
yeah it’s always an adventure and
07:51
everything you just never know what’s
07:53
gonna go right you never know what’s
07:54
gonna go wrong but if you have the
07:58
correct tools I mean it’s got some
08:02
pressure even here pop and it’s just
08:05
gonna drop
08:09
open
08:21
and sure it’s been in here since the
08:26
jeep was new
08:35
put some pressure on there
09:03
it off a little more banging and beaten
09:10
and I normally would do but that sucker
09:13
was on there alright so this so I can
09:21
have up there so you can see it see it’s
09:25
loose because this is not tightening it
09:28
is not pinching it so what I’m going to
09:34
do it some people a stir so it comes
09:39
either turner’s if I can turn the new
09:46
one in the correct way
09:48
the correct
09:51
I can also you could also count number
09:55
of threads that are left
10:04
so
10:14
all right so right at the top so we’re
10:17
coming out 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
10:38
14:15
10:41
and
10:46
21
11:01
to
11:12
there’d be 5 and 3/4 some 35 and 3/4
11:24
one
11:27
who
11:29
we
11:36
eight
11:44
you
12:17
thirty five and three-quarters
12:30
okay now we got a 35 turns in actually I
12:38
went 35 but how you want to measure it
12:42
is this is this is an exact position it
12:45
was when we dropped it out so what I did
12:48
was I turned it in to more because you
12:52
want you want this to line up
12:54
I went 35 and it wasn’t lined up so I
12:57
turned it into more and it lines up
12:59
perfectly then we just want to put
13:10
Castle not on it
13:13
hold it in place this is in place so
13:20
it’s got to I’m not sure if you can see
13:23
it or not but it’s got two little
13:24
nipples one on each side of this so let
13:26
you know right where this is supposed to
13:28
go it goes right in between those two it
13:32
has a square on one side so that it fits
13:36
in so that you don’t it doesn’t require
13:40
another wrench on the other side to hold
13:43
it it’s being held in by the shoulder of
13:48
the bolt
13:57
you can crank this down now back down
14:10
that’s really all there is to it tie
14:13
rods are pretty simple it’s no different
14:15
than this one right here the process is
14:20
no different than this one right here
14:22
this is a curved tie rod end and the tie
14:27
rod end on the other side of this actual
14:30
tie rod for a Jeep it’s pressed in so if
14:35
the passenger side tie rod goes on your
14:38
Jeep we got it together you’re gonna
14:40
spend about 300 bucks just on the the
14:43
end of the tie rod because it requires
14:46
them this part as well you need to need
14:50
to hold tube so
14:57
crank that down my elbow says that about
15:00
right
15:05
that’s good to go
15:09
[Music]
15:21
Greece wedding
15:28
and the crank this down
15:30
so you want to crank this down so that
15:35
it’s tight but not so tight that you’re
15:46
damaging the boot you don’t want to
15:49
damage the boot plus you’ve got a castle
15:54
nut on top of it now that has a hole in
15:57
it and you’ve got to line that up
16:10
that you can put those copper canyon
16:12
okay so now it’s getting tight you see
16:15
the hole right there
16:33
voila
16:40
take that cotter pin and wrapping around
16:43
castle nut best as you can
16:51
because that’s what’s gonna hold it from
16:56
spinning
17:00
so now
17:17
you can see that it moves
17:23
now this one a bad one
17:31
I should not be able to do that now on
17:33
my head this should be and if as I go
17:36
around I can feel the damage inside
17:40
there from this ripped boot so you
17:42
should when you get at I ride I should
17:45
have showed you before I put it in there
17:46
this this bolt this will not move if I
17:52
can if you can move it with your hands
17:54
then you know it was definitely bad it’s
17:58
the only thing left now is put desert
18:00
fitting in the bottom requires an 8
18:03
millimeter
18:05
8 millimeter wrench once you get it
18:09
started
18:16
also the one that I took out was not
18:18
greasable so this one is greasable so on
18:28
every oil change and the cat’s gonna
18:31
come around if you get a full service or
18:33
you can do it go around and hit all the
18:35
grease fittings on your suspension ends
18:38
see these are stock they don’t have them
18:40
either all right so it comes factory
18:50
with grease in it
19:13
handy-dandy goodies gun pop it on the
19:19
joint
19:24
squeeze it can you just start seeing
19:27
that who would expand which I am that’s
19:30
all you need you need to over Greece it
19:33
yeah you don’t need Greece shouldn’t
19:44
just come out
19:49
okay sleep it off like a good mechanic
19:51
would we’ve got a greased u-joint sorry
19:58
not are you joint drag link and that’s
20:01
what this is this is the drag link in
20:03
this is the tie rod it’s the tie rod end
20:06
right here is the sleeve that gets on
20:09
that gets loosened and you turn this
20:11
sleeve right here to bring your toe-in
20:13
and toe-out when your front end
20:15
alignment and that should be it
20:18
job done pretty easy not too difficult
20:23
hardest part is usually getting this and
20:25
separated from the pitman arm you just
20:27
have to have the correct tools this is a
20:31
pitman arm remover it actually takes the
20:35
pitman arm the same way I did this it
20:37
takes the pitman arm off of the steering
20:39
box sector shaft you want the first one
20:43
that I had is for tie rods because it’s
20:47
a little bit smaller so this will fit
20:49
perfectly through here to get this tire
20:51
off of here but since this is an
20:53
aftermarket pitman arm it’s a little bit
20:55
bigger so I had to use the other one and
20:58
that’s it job done somebody probably
21:01
charged I see this parts 25 bucks and
21:04
three times that so the garage buy
21:07
charge of seventy-five bucks for the end
21:08
you can get for 25 bucks off a rock auto
21:10
probably charge you 30 minutes which is
21:13
you know depends on it could be 75 or
21:17
100 dollars could be 50 75 bucks you’re
21:20
looking at $150 $125 job right here that
21:24
I just did for 25 dollars in parts and
21:28
that’s why you should
21:30
vehicle all right peace out
