Impact wrench if you have one, or lock it with a big breaker bar and try
rolling the car. (Makes a big lever) It is RH threads.
On the boots, save your metal clamps, the new ones come with zip ties.
Count the turns of the tie rod ends on each side and refit them with the
smae amount of turns to keep the toe in close. They should be about 15
turns. so if 1 side is 10, and the other 20, make them 15 each and check
your toe in afterwards.
