How to replace the tie rod end and boot on Mazda 626?

Lift the body of the vehicle and hold it on jackstands and then take off the front wheel. Then loosen the tie rod nut by which the outer tie rod is held by the steering knuckle and with an appropriate tool (such as a pickle fork) loosen the tie rod from the steering knuckle. Find the position of the jam nut relative to the inner tie rod threads to ensure that there is the same alignment of the front end when the jam nut gets installed, undo the jam nut relative to the outer tie rod and unscrew the tie rod end relative to the tie rod. Check the tie rod end boot to see that it has no tears or grease leakage; to change the boot put the rod end in a vise, tap around the outer circumference carefully with a chisel and hammer, taking care not to mar the sealing surface. Install a small dab of lithium base chassis grease in the new boot and place it on the end of the tie rod and clamp it firmly in place with a vise and a fitting size socket or press with Mazda tool 491243785. To install, screw the outer tie rod into the inner tie rod until it clamps the jam nut at the mark of the threads. Install tie rod in steering knuckle and install tie rod nut and tighten it to the recommended torque with installing a new cotter pin. Install the jam nut to the required torque, install the front wheel and lower the vehicle. Before driving the car over a distance, it is recommended that the front end alignment be checked.
