Need assist with Passenger side Tie Rod Bellows Holder, Which way do I turn it as facing it (see pic) to loosen it along with the eye bolt? Clockwise or Counter Clockwise?
I already did the driver's side tie rod but the passsenger side is stuck and I am questioning my approach. It has to come off as whomever did it before must have had it out of the car as the Tie Rod placement pin through eye bolt has no room to come out all the way.. Thank You.. ( I do not want to booger it worse that it is) My approach was counter clockwise but the eye bolt is in so deep it does not have room to back offf, any advice.. please add fire? |

IIRC from those that I have disassembled the side in your pic goes to the inside , these are just about jam nuts on the tierod that screws into the rack end. You could try to loosen the tierod eye which may get you the space that you need, remove the tierod , use a bar or something that will give you a good bite on the eye end and turn it in the direction that will unscrew the tierod eye, and yes they will buger easy BTDT ( sucks ).Perhaps you may be able to file the edge down some. Good luck ....
