Apply the hex-holding feature to stop stud rotation and unscrew thetie-rod end nut followed by disconnecting the tie-rod end from the wheel knuckle after you tighten the new nut to 100 Nm (74 ft. lbs.). The weight of the knuckle should be held by a suitable jack stand when the lower control arm becomes disconnected to protect the upper control arm.

Use new nuts when reinstalling the arm-to-knuckle connections for both upper and lower segments of the arm and tie rod section together with the tapered washer positioned on ball joints before reassembly according to reverse installation steps, torque the knuckle joints to 90 Nm (66 ft. lbs.).
