- Locate the outer tie rod end at the steering knuckle. Apply penetrating oil to the castle nut and threads if corroded.
- Mark the position of the tie rod end on the inner tie rod or count the exposed threads to preserve approximate alignment for reassembly.
- Remove the cotter pin (if present) and loosen and remove the tie rod end castle nut or nut securing the stud to the steering knuckle.
- Use a tie rod end puller or pickle fork to separate the tie rod end stud from the steering knuckle. A sharp tap with a hammer may be needed to free the stud.
