Inner assembly requires a 38mm Crowsfoot BTW...
Have fun, get the tourch and PB blaster ready. You will need to get an alignment IMO, some have gotten everything pretty close by keeping notes during the removal. I think the alignment is a must just due to your not knowing if your in good standing before you remove and install the new assembly.

thanks i have a tie rod assembly removertool which has about 8 different ..
size crowfoots its like a tube that the tie rod actually goes into and then you put it on a 1/2 in wrench with about a 4' pole..
last time i replaced one it only took 30 min to get it lose hopefully they will have losened it up for me.. haha.. THanks though.. oh yeah alignment is good way to go i am going to replace the other sides end too so it wont hurt to do it all at once..

right i know thats the plan after i replace other parts that also ..
need an alignment afterwards so it does not make sense to do the alignment more than once..and they would not let it leave with out alignment.. even if it was close.. its like what ever.. for $380 less than half the cost of them to do everything i also was able to order myself cv boots both sides and new engine mounts to go along with my replacement transmission mounts
Thanks mike at purems
