Removing Steering Rod

Asked by xmy123 Apr 24, 2020 at 10:17 AM about the 2017 Tesla Model S 75D AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a bent steering rod on model S 2017 75D. Trying to replace it. Found one that is part of a whole steering assembly. I cannot remove the rod (red cloud in picture). tried to twist the piece that holds it (yellow highlighted) but would not turn. Any ideas how to remove?

Thanks

Bill

That piece is the inner tie rod and requires special tools. You can rent the tools at an auto parts store, you want the inner tie rod end tool. It's basically a long heavy duty breaker bar. Check youtube for some videos.
