If what your talking about is the jam washer, that is hammered out of the way and then the inner tie-rod tool will work.How do i take the inner tie rod on a sentra 03 ?
Lol ball joint puller for an inner tie rod rotflmao. This is what you do, jack the vehicle up, remove tire, take wrench and just bust the lock nut loose between the inner and outer tie rods, remove the cotter pin in the outer tie rod, remove the nut, smack hub/spindle with hammer, remove outer tie rod completely, remove lock nut off inner tie rod, remove clamps that hold bellows boot on, remove bellows boot, bend the tab as the first poster stated, then use inner tie rod tool to remove tie rod from rack and pinion. Thread new inner tie rod on , tighten with tool, bend lock tab/washer down, reverse procedure on the rest counting threads. When done, head to an alignment shop for a four wheel alignment.
