How to Replace the Inner Tie Rod in a Steering Gear on Buick Century?

Steering gear inner Tie Rod replacement requires removing both the Rack and Pinion Boot and breather tube. The maintenance professional needs to hold the rack throughout both inner Tie Rod removal and installation operations to avoid damage. Start by taking off the shock dampener from the inner Tie Rod assembly then reinstall it onto the rack. The removal process begins by placing a wrench on each flat surface of the rack assembly while another wrench secures the flats of the inner Tie Rod housing. Then rotate the inner Tie Rod housing counterclockwise until the assembly breaks free from the rack. When performing rack assembly use j 34028 (Inner Tie Rod Wrench) to move shock dampener forward onto rack. The inner Tie Rod assembly installation on the rack happens when you use j 34028 and a torque wrench to tighten the inner Tie Rod housing at 100 nm (74 ft. Lbs.) while keeping a wrench on the flats of the rack assembly. Position the inner Tie Rod assembly into a vise clamp before staking both sides of the inner Tie Rod assembly to the rack's flats. Check both inner Tie Rod housing stakes by placing a 0.25 mm gauge between rack and housing to ensure clean passing is impossible. Crank the shock dampener so the front lip touches the inner Tie Rod housing .
