Default 2000 GT TIE RODS

Any of you guys replaced your own inner and outer tie rods? Any tricks of the trade I should know about before I dive into this one?

Buy the inner tie rod removal tool when replacing the inners. It will make your life wayyy easier. Try to count how many turns it takes to get the outers off, that way your alignment will be close enough to get you to an shop. Other than that, its pretty easy.

+1, and on the outer tie rods, loosen the nut then hit the spindle with a hammer where the tie rods connect to it break it free.
