Loosen the outer tie rod end locking nut by a quarter turn, then loosen the steering boot clamp(s) and slide the small clamp off the boot. Carefully loosen the boot and slide it outward to expose the inner steering rod mounting fastener. If necessary, adjust the inner steering rack shaft for better access. Relieve the steering rod nut locking tab from the inner steering rack shaft and loosen the steering rod ball socket nut by one turn. Matchmark the tie rod end to the threaded shaft, then remove the cotter key and castle nut from the outer tie rod end threaded spindle, using a tie rod end removal tool to detach the tie rod from the Steering Knuckle. Hold the tie rod with a wrench and remove the outer tie rod end from the threaded rod, counting the number of complete turns it takes to remove it and noting this number.

Peen the lock washer over the nut or onto the flat surface of the steering rack shaft. Apply silicone grease to the outer circumference of the inner tie rod end ball socket and the groove just outside of the socket, then apply silicone grease to the inside of the small end of the steering rack boot, sliding the boot over the steering shaft and onto the rack while installing the boot clamps. Apply a light film of anti-seize compound onto the threaded tie rod end and install the tie rod end lock nut, then install the tie rod end onto the tie rod, turning it the same number of turns as noted during removal.
