Looking for someone that can replace a tie rod boot
(1/1)
Beeler422:
I've got an original tie rod and the boot has a hole in it. Where can I send it to get a new boot installed? Thanks.

You can very easily do this yourself. I did mine. I got the boots from npd. You can get them off using a brass punch (I'm not sure that's the proper name for the tool) and gently pushing the old boot off. The new one can be pressed on using a big socket or the same punch.

Ah OK. Thanks for that. I just thought you needed a special press or equipment to do it. I'll look a little closer at it. If anyone has any pics that would be helpful!

If you do a search on the forum I'm confident you'll find many threads about this. Here is one I've contributed to with some pictures.
