I can't quite visualize how I'm going to get the inner tie rod out of the rack without separating the outer tie rod end from the upright/strut first. I don't think there's enough thred in the outer tie rod end to just back the inner one out of the rack, plus I'm fighting two threads if I do that.
I'm after what I can most easily do in the car, and has the lowest risk of messing with toe. If I separate the outer tie rod end and then remove the whole assembly from the rack, toe won't change because the tie rod length hasn't been touched.
Are both ends of the rack (and the inner tie rod end) right-hand threaded?
