  Q: How do you replace the steering gear boot and reinstall the tie-rod end on Nissan Sentra?

  A: Loosen the lug nuts, lift the car and then support it with jackstands before you can remove the specific wheel. Rioux and associated, Next, recommend the removal of the tie-rod end and the jam nut. To remove it you have to snap off the outer rack and pinion boot clamp with pliers at the end of the clamp, while you can cut the inner boot clamp with the help of diagonal cutters and thereafter pull the boot. Before fixing the new boot, it's advisable to spindle the threads at the end of the steering rod with tape so as not to hurt the small end of the new boot. Before that place the new boot on the steering gear and fix it there until it goes into the groove at the steering rod followed by the installation of new clamps. Take off the tape and fix the tie-rod end. Last, but not the least, fit back the wheel and the lugs nuts, lower the car and snugly tighten the lugs nuts to the recommended torque again and if required, check the alignment of the wheel.
