Uninstall
1. Raise car off ground. Start with the removal of the cotter pin from the nut connected to the tie rod end.
Once the pin is removed the nut may come off with a ratchet and socket. To remove the tie rod end, it
may require a few taps from a hammer on the knuckle that supported the tie rod end. (Don't hit the
threads these will be reused.) Remove both the passenger side and the driver side tie rod ends.
2. The next component to be removed is the idler arm. The idler arm is just a support bracket that
supports the linkage and hold creates a swivel point on the steering system. 2 bolts and 2 nuts
support it. This may require a wrench, ratchet and socket.
