Changing outer tie rods, help?

Post by Ohabu »

Hey folks. I need to change the outer tie rods on my d9, and was wondering if it is doable for me myself, as I am short on cash atm :|

I am moderately experienced, and as it is a mechanical part I think I could do it with some time and patience. Anyone done it? I imagine I remove the wheels and then I will se the part. Are they easy to remove?

Some help would be much <3 :)

Dude,

If you can't manage that job, sell the 406 and buy a raleigh chopper!

My sarcastic way of saying it's an easy job. - have a go!

Good luck

About 4 hours to remove the left one, 2 minutes on the right one. Definately need some adjustments. Now I'm a bit impressed with myself;)
