How to replace the outer tie rod end on Buick Century?

Begin by lifting and supporting the vehicle then removing wheels and tires as a first step to replace an outer Tie Rod End. Start by taking off the prevailing torque nut that secures the outer tie rod assembly followed by a loose procedure on the jam nut of the inner tie rod assembly. The universal steering linkage puller (J 24319-B) enables technicians to detach the outer tie rod assembly from its position on the Steering Knuckle. A wedge should be used between the joint and attached part to maintain the steering linkage connection and prevent seal destruction. The next step involves taking out the outer tie rod assembly from its position on the inner tie rod assembly. Secure the outer tie rod assembly to the inner tie rod assembly before tightening the jam nut but do not apply extra torque to it. Secure the Steering Knuckle with the outer tie rod assembly by using the prevailing torque nut until it reaches 30 n.m (22 lb ft) torque with an additional 120 degrees of rotation while maintaining 2 1/2 - 4 1/2 threads visible beyond the nylon washer. Complete the process by tightening the jam nut to 70 nm (52 ft. Lbs.), putting back the tire and wheel assembly, lowering the vehicle, followed by a front end alignment procedure.
