Relay/tie rod question?

[jditom]

Broke the relay rod greese boot trying to get the shock dampner off last night. Dealer says can't replace boot, need new relay rod at $67. Slee's sells a set of 4 for $99. Are these units very hard to do. I have a pitman puller. Should I go for it or send it out.

Thanks All

Real easy. Order the entire set of 4 TRE's from Slee as well as the relay rod itself...might as well get the tie rod length as well all for $300 IIRC.

Then tear it up...smash the crap out of the TRE's getting them out.

Here's my write-up when I did the job:

Nice write up! Thanks
I am also geting a tie rod puller that Slee uses.
Hate that pickle fork!

Easy, do it yourself, but might get your alignment checked afterwards.
