No problem! Not too hard as long as you have the tie rod tools. 👌🏽

@tylerthebald3992 Appreciate it brother! trying to get better with every video. But you can definitely do it, most important steps are dont cross thread the tie rods on, make sure they thread all the way in and torque everything to spec!

Decent vid! Who did you go with for your tie rods? Toyota makes you buy the rack if you want tie rods! Came across some Sankei 555's the other day at Advance. All the other brands are crap unfortunately!

Much appreciated 🙏🏼. The ones changed in this video were GM tie rods I bought on RockAuto about 4 years ago. This time I just replaced with Napa Gold series

It is, but it's gonna be a challenge getting the tie rods off. If you can't get the green tool, get a 29mm crows foot adapter
