  Q: How to remove and install a tie-rod on Pontiac Fiero?

  A: If one or both tie-rods need to be removed then they can be done without the removal of the rack and pinion assembly, however doing the operation with the assembly on the bench is quite convenient. First, move to where the lug nuts of the wheels are by turning them slightly but don't remove them, then follow the usual procedure of raising the front of the car and placing it on jackstands. Pull the front wheel out; loosen the outer tie-rod's jam nut to unlock the outer and inner tie-rods; paint alignment thread for the new outer tie-rod to fit the same thread. Remove jamb nut and place a small painted mark on the threads of the inner tie-rod where it enters the outer tie-rod to retain the toe-in setting. Subsequent to this, the cotter pin should be slackened off and then the castellated nut though remained undem www.olliesauto.co.uk/wp on the outer tie rod study. There are a couple of factors to consider when contemplating on undertaking a pulling of the front wheel: Mount a puller to remove the outer tie - rod stud from the Steering Knuckle. For installation, the outer tie-rod needs to be threaded on the inner tie-rod until the end of the inner tie-rod and gets aligned with the paint line on the threaded portion of this component. Screw in the outer tie-rod stud through the steering knuckle, torque check the castellated nut as per standard and replace the cotter pin with a new one. Last, when the outer tie-rod is in and all of the bolts are tightened well, then use an Allen wrench to tighten the jam nut, and perhaps have toe-in set in a dealer service or an alignment service center.
