Re: I Just Did This, Here's how: ALL

Bob:

I took the morning off to finish this ('cause riding to work on a bicycle in the rain is not too great) and you're right, it's a piece of cake. I cut the rack boot tie, pulled the rack boot back to expose the ball joint, and used an adjustable wrench to hold the rack at the gear while I applied adjustable pliers to unscrew the inner tie rod and ball joint. This freed the whole assembly, which I pulled off. I cut the inner rod with a hacksaw to remove the boot. Then I screwed the new inner rod into place, using threadlocker, and staked it with a punch where the old one was staked.

I reinstalled the rack boot with a heavy-duty cable tie and I installed the tie rod end. Ready for an alignment.

BTW, NAPA had my inner tie rod in stock for the 90 745 with CamGear.
