I see the flats on the inner tie rod end, but I'm still a little confused. The only locknut is the one that is threaded onto the wheel end of the inner tie rod where the inner tie rod threads into the outer tie rod end. That one I'll definitely loosen first. The step that is unclear to me is how to release the inner tie rod end from where it threads over the end of the steering shaft. How do I hold the shaft securely without any damage to the shaft or the steering gears? By steering shaft, I mean the straight shaft that has gear notches on the bottom of it and goes through the steering box. I think it's called the pinion shaft, but I'm not sure. And yes, I do have a garage with heat, which I love. Thank you. I'll look forward to hearing more.
