First, remove the wheel. Loosen the nut located between the tie rod and the steering rack boot.

Then, remove the clip located behind the brake disc at the bottom. After removing the clip, unscrew the nut and tap the bracket with a hammer until the tie rod comes free.

Now, unscrew the tie rod, paying attention to how many turns you make so you can install the new one with the same number of turns to avoid uneven alignment. Use pliers to compress the clips on the boot to move it aside, allowing you to unscrew the other end of the tie rod. When unscrewing the nut before the boot, remember to measure the threaded distance.

Once the boot is removed, proceed to remove the tie rod by pushing it outward. Now, install the new tie rod and reassemble everything, remembering the central nut distance and the turns of the outer tie rod. You have now replaced the tie rod on your HONDA CR-V.
