Replacing Tie Rod End

On this episode we changed out the pitman arm drag link/tie rod end. The steering was getting a little loose on me and pulling to the right. After further inspection, I noticed the seal was busted. Took this time to also change the stock clamp as well since it was full of rust. Going off-road, specifically down in #SWFL area, there is lots of mud during rainy season which is no good for metal. We used a 3/8 and 1/2 wrench. 3/8 electric torque wrench. 15MM, 21MM, 17MM sockets/wrench. Torqued the clamp bolts to 26FT.LB and Torqued the Tie Rod end to the pitman arm NUT 77FT.LB. I used a crowfoot wrench.
