1999 Dodge Caravan changing the outher tie rods

Put the tapered stud back in the knuckle then turn the inner tie rod with a channel lock pliers. Sometimes the inner boot will want to twist. Just squeeze and remove the ring on the end of the boot if that happens.

Coat the threads with just a little grease to make it easier for the alignment technician. Do not use Mopar Rust Penetrant. It will free up rusted threads very nicely, but if you don't wash it all off, moisture will follow it into the threads later making the parts extremely difficult to remove or adjust.
