2000 LINCOLN LS - Outer tie rod removal - i have two replacement outer tie rods (driver and passenger side) - i am having difficulty removing the outer tie rod from the inner tie rod. A tie rod removal tool is too big and does not look like it will work. Can I put some degreaser on the screw threads to loosen it up without issues?
Yes degreaser will not hurt it. The outer tie rod is retained only by one nut that connects it to the inner tie rod.Once you have this loosen just turn the outer tie rod to the left to remove it from the inner tie rod.
Probly not ! ! They rent and sell a tie rod puller that works in tight places. You can get them at Orillys Auto parts. Let me know if this helps ?
