Every time my accord need something, there's always a Big Dog 50001 video right there... Thanks man.
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
Great video the boot install struggle gave me anxiety just watching it 🤣
You make it look simple. Thanks for taking the time to do all your Honda videos.
Paul Laws Thanks!
So clearly explained and a joy to watch. I need do this over the next few days. Thank you.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
You did a phenomenal job such a precise video tomorrow morning I am on this Mission thanks for this video I feel a whole lot better
Thank you for the comment!
How did it go @Erick Correa? I’m doing it today! 2004 Accord...
Thanks for taking the time to film and share. I appreciate your attention to detail.
Thanks, I appreciate the comment!
Wow you were the only one brave enough to show the real struggles with installing that damn boot I happily subscribed after seeing that! Thanks
Thanks for making this video, it helped me a lot doing this job myself. My accord is 27 years old and has torn boots everywhere. I bought the aftermarket Febest one and it was really hard getting it on. Eventually I used two fingers to stretch the boot as hard as I can just before pushing and finally got it on. A simple design change with a lead-in chamfer on the rubber or a pullable flap could have made this job so much easier.
👍
someone used the word "precise". that's a very accurate word for this. thanks, liked, and subscribed!
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Would you go with Honda genuine parts here? or would aftermarket be fine?
Thank you so much for this detailed and thorough video. Your patience is mesmerizing! Because of this video, I will not even bother with trying to diy. Good looking out!!
The lesson was very clear and details. Thanks for showing this. You are wonderful.
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time and making it.
Nice job, nice camera work.
Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate your videos.
Dan
Thanks!
You produce the best videos on Hondas. Great content great pace. Absolutely perfect. Please produce more. No content too small or insignificant. 👍👍. Thanks for what your doing!
Thx sir. Excellent demonstration. I'm gathering the proper tools for these jobs.. I have a 2003 Accord 4 cyl.. wish me luck. Cheers
Good luck, thanks for the comment!
Good effort to show all very well clearly
Thanks!
Love your thoroughness. Excellent!
Thank you for the comment!
Informative video. Awesome content. I think I'd end up using a heavy duty zip tie and say every curse word in the book trying to take off and put on that clamp for the boot lol
this looks fun to do i’m excited to do mine
Very good clip
Great instructions for DIY
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. !!!!! If you're going to use the rings on the boots, but them on first, then slide the boot on the tie rod. I lube the boots with silicone.
👍
Great video. So precise and nice viewing
Thanks 👍!
thank you that was EXCELLENT.
Thanks!
Well, done. Very informative and thorough.
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
little tip. Put the outer/ small ring on the boot then put the boot on the shaft... you have to take the Nut off the shaft first.
i used zip ties on the inner/ larger end.
Just be careful doing that, you can tear up the rubber when it goes over the threads on the tie rod end.
Nice work shop and jop .ls it parfait
Great work and so easy to follow, many thanks for taking the time.
Thanks for the comment!
Much praise to you sir! I'm planning on definitely doing this before my my next road trip. I was wondering though. I was looking at my boots one day and they looked just fine, took my car to get aligned and then when I went to do my next oil change noticed my boot looked like it was sliced in half on one of them. Do you think that could've been a product of them being careless during the alignment?
Sounds likes its most likely a coincidence. Thank you for the comment!
Just bought a 1st Gen Acura TSX, and I've been looking for guidance on a few repairs I'll be needing to do. I had my "go to" YT channel for all things Toyota. I do believe I have found my go to channel now for all things Acura/Honda now - Big Dog has it all covered!
-Question on the outer tie rod. What if the replacement tie rod is a slightly different size (e.g., replacing after-market with OEM or vice versa). How would you account for that since the thread count may not result in the same distance? I guess you would just measure the overall difference, go the original thread mark, and adjust from there, accordingly? (sorry if you covered that and I missed it.) Thanks for making these awesome videos!
I cut those metal clips off those type of boots with sidecutters
Thanks for the input!
If my boot is ripped and there is power steering fluid leaking out, would the entire rack and pinion need to be replaced?
This video is a massive help for me since I'm becoming a mechanic. I have two question, did you put anything in the put other than the silicone spray. Also on my car I just noticed today that the boot was torn because i was hearing squeaking while turning and hitting bumps. It doesn't appear to have leaked any power steering fluid but does the squeak mean I have a bad seal or something else?
Doing same on 1995 honda odyssey near 300,000 miles. Trying to clear abs and srs lite no luck so far
Thanks for the input!
on 98 camry the boots are hell to replace especially when it's 105 outside . i had to heat streatch it overnight.
Sounds like fun!
You don't need to put some grease inside before the boot gets installed?
If the joint looks dry it won't hurt to put some grease on it.
I'm unable to remove the locknut as shown in 3:33. What should I do?
How do you like your impact driver - I am looking for a good battery impact but I am stuck on which one to get -
I can't remember what I used in this video, but I only use Milwaukee battery tools now, no complaints.
Question.. Have you come across the rack seal leaking into the inner tie rod boot?? I have a Honda Accord and just noticed the driver side inner tie rod boot saturated with PS fluid dripping to the floor.
czcams.com/video/r9qP0K2hzss/video.html
Did you regrease the shaft... we saw u cleaning it but if u did grease it what kind of grease did you used?
Yes, any good quality automotive chassis/wheel bearing grease should be fine.
Did I miss the part where you put grease in the steering rack, I thought it would be important.
I put some grease on it but did not film it, never a bad idea to add some to the rack.
Can you screw a tire rod back in the boot if it comes out
No easy way to tighten it with the boot in the way.
Dammmmnnnn🤬 It’s been difficult for me out that metal strap you think I can put a regular plastic strap very thigh?
My inner rod is full of oil that means i have to change it too? Most of the booth is gone?
I can't see what you are looking at but it sounds like the power steering rack is leaking from the seals and will have to be fixed. They do sell seals for rebuilding power steering racks but I generally just replace the rack when they leak. A new inner tie rod will not fix a leaking power steering rack. Keep an eye on the power steering fluid level, when they start leaking its usually just a little bit and then one day they will start to leak bad causing a lot of fluid loss (and possibly pump damage).
If your boot is damaged I would think you just need a new boot like me.
Only the boot is broken on mine and leaking power steering fluid. Is there anyway to replace the boot without taking the outer tie rod off and having to get an alignment? My alignment is already good.
No the outer tie rod pretty much needs to be removed to do a boot. Unfortunately, with it leaking inside the boot that generally indicates a leak from the power steering rack. I would get the leak fixed before I worried about the boot (boot will not fix the leak). A small PS leak can turn into a huge leak overnight on these Hondas.
@@BigDog50001 I thought the boot just has fluid in it all the time because I see that power steering fluid line that goes to the boot or is that something else?
@@BigDog50001 and is the labor expensive to replace the rack? Is it simple to replace myself?
The line you are seeing going to the boot is most likely the air equalization tube, which keeps the air inside the boots even on both sides when turning (otherwise the boots would over-pressurize and deflate when turning). A PS rack replacement is generally pretty labor intensive (and expensive), I would not call it simple to replace. The leak you are describing sounds the same as the leak in this video: czcams.com/video/r9qP0K2hzss/video.html
I just read that power steering stop leak is guaranteed to seal rack and pinion leaks. Does that stuff work?
hey man. I have gotten boots from autozone and the driver side is too small. went to napa and it is the same issue. also at performance it is the same. yet the rack body is the same Diameter on both sides so why is the boot smaller diameter on the driver side ?
The driver side and passenger side are different sizes, so they have different part numbers. You might have to get it at the dealer if they can't get the correct part for you. Part numbers are listed in the description, but I can't remember which one is right and which is left.
i think i got the on the correct sides. did it 4 days ago. but the driver side i noticed the vacuum nipple looked like it should of had a 45* angle and it was straight. also the driver side boot was 1/8 inch smaller diameter than the one i removed. little spray silicone and she slipped on there tho. so far so good. glad i was able to change them before there was any damage to the shafts and seals. i wiped them down with clean shop towels 3 times . every time using a fresh shop towel. no debris on there when the new boots went on. only thing now is. I think i missed 1 turn on the tierod. I just put new tires on so. I need an alignment check anyway.
I have Honda Accord 2015, 2.4L.
The service centre just advised to replace Tie Rod End Boots, bcz it is leaking grease.
So basically it is about outer or inner? What are the part numbers for these to replace. Anyone there to answer please? I will appreciate. Thanks
They should be talking about the boots on the outer tie rod ends. For a typical 2015 Accord the Honda part # is 06535-T4N-305 (always double check part numbers). For the price (and if the boots have been torn for a while), I would probably just replace the tie rod ends if it were my car (which is what was done on this vehicle).
Thanks for the answer dear,
Could you please help me to find the related Part Numbers for both Tie Rod End L&R.
Where can I buy some genuine one? Or which one is reliable to buy? ebay? Hondapartsonline.net? Or anyother plz specify.
Can anyone tell me if using a non vented rack and pinion boot on a car that has the vented type will hurt anything?
In general, the air inside the boot will need to go somewhere so there is a good chance it will pop the boot open or one of the bands off. Boots are super cheap, I would put the correct one on there unless it was no longer available.
How can u tell if the inner tie rod is bad?
The joint will have a lot of play in it.
Id rather die in a police chase than put that boot on. That boot is the hardest thing to get on.
What brand of hammer?
Trusty Cook hammers are what I use.
14:41 I'd be cussing by then :)
lol, I probably was!

why did you spend 2 minutes explaining how to take off a tire .
Might seem simple to you but some people watching have not taken off a tire before.
