So today i removed the steering rack from my car wanting to change the one tie rod, and i just couldn’t get it to come off. Is there a special tool needed to remove it?

there is a tool but if the rack is out of the car just use a wrench, dont impact it youll damage the rack, its just very tight sometimes. I suggest putting it in a vice.

oh and when you put the new one on, use locktight, the liquid stuff, sometimes it comes with the tie rod, and torque it to spec lol

Bing sells inner and outer kits for a good deal. Might as well change them both if you’re in there. ps: put the rack back in the car to get everything tight… if it’s in the vice, grab a safe (read: strong) spot on the rack.
