• Q: How to replace the outer tie rod end on 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: You need the j24319-b (J24319-B) universal steering linkage puller to disconnect every Tie Rod End before you replace the outer Tie Rod End. Start by taking out both the tire and wheel from the front end of the vehicle. First unscrew the nut from the outer tie rod ball stud then unwind the jam nut. The j24319-b (J24319-B) universal steering linkage puller helps separate outer tie rod ball stud from Steering Knuckle. Check the inner tie rod shaft for bending damage and thread contamination following removal of the Tie Rod End . A thorough cleaning process on the Steering Knuckle's tapered surface must be completed prior to beginning the installation sequence. First connect the new Tie Rod End to the inner tie rod shaft and afterward fasten the outer tie rod ball stud to the Steering Knuckle. Secure the outer tie rod ball stud with a new prevailing torque nut and torque the nut to 45 nm (33 ft. Lbs.). The tire and wheel reinstallation is followed by front toe adjustment and a final jam nut torque setting at 75 nm (55 ft. Lbs.).
