Outer tie rod adjustment/lock/jam nut?

Does anyone know what size the outer tie rod adjustment/jam nut is? mine is completely seized. Tried heat, pb blaster and etc.

Any info would great be appreciated

 

Picture for help

 

Screw pblaster, use atf

 

Trying now but would rather just go buy if available

 

Did you modify that rubber bed liner to fit your 1st gen?

 

Hahaha great eye sight and yes. Had a 2017 Tacoma and sold it for the tundra than bought my 1st gen. The rubber Matt almost fit but required very light cutting to fit

 

27mm. It was a hard wrench to find for me at least. The long handle set at Harbor Freight goes up to 26mm, the jumbo set only goes down to 35mm. The service wrenches have a 27mm, but it's probably too short for that job. I ended up buying a 27mm Husky wrench at Home Depot.

Your real issue might be holding the tie rod end enough to be able to torque on that nut. If you don't have a vise it might be worth finding someone that does.

 

Just buy new from Toyota. low Range Off-road had them too. It’s basically a consumable if you are hitting it that hard at this point

 

I bought that liner and saw that it was tight near the wheel arches. I didn't want to modify it so i ended up selling it. I thought maybe you got one that didn't need modification.

 

If you don't have a vise, put a pipe wrench on the straight part of the OTR while you turn the 27mm nut. Use penetrating oil. You may have to turn the nut ever-so-slightly in the "out" direction and then tighten it again a few times to get the rust to loosen up. Again, use plenty of penetration oil (or ATF as one of the other guys here suggested). Patience here will save you $50 plus shipping for a new OTR.

 

Here's the nut:

Not sure what the toyota PN is.

 

Coworker here has a coffee cup with a PBlaster label on it. I told him PBlaster ain't shit, ATF FTW.

 

New part should come with a new jam nut. Mine always have.

 

This is not correct. OEM does come with a castle nut and cotter pin, but not a jam nut. The 555s from TrailGear/Wheelers/LowRange also do not come with a jam nut.

 

As previously stated. Mine have always come with new hardware. Try Napa.

 

Castle nut and cotter pin but no jam nut. OEM doesn’t come with jam nut

 

No thanks.

 

Your truck your call my guy.

 

I got outer and inner and came with castle. Codder, thrust washer and a thick jam nut and a thin jam nut.. i think theyre both jam nuts .. not sure though because the ball that goes into the knuckle didnt have anything between tge boot and knuckle so when i tried to tighten the castle nut on i couldnt get it past hand tight without pancaking the damn boot. Got dark and mosquito blood suckers got too thick so i had to quit for the night.. went all kinds of wrong. Old outer came off with 14 turns. New one goes on with 14 and thing is pointed towards the other tire.. so between that and the castle nut thing i know i screwed it up.. parts were exactly the same size and thing so i dunno why it went on like it did. And not sure why the inner came with what looks to be a jam nut and outer came with one also..
