Civic EG

I have been replacing my inner and outer tie rods and cant seem to get the boot to go on cause of a tight fit any suggestions?

well after several minutes swearing seemed to help and i got it on but im confused.

I was putting the outer tie rod on the hub and when screwing the castle nut back on I can thread the nut way past the hole for the carter key before it even begins to be thight I was thinking the ball joint would get tight way before that and the castle nut should line up with the hole?

If it helps this is from orielys mastercraft pro brand

This May not be very imformitive but do what i did changed it while the motor was out

I figured it out lol the castle nut was like half the size of the Oem one gotta love aftermarket hardware sometimes

Finally got the tie rods complete on the drivers side along with the camber kit, and went ahead and replaced lower balljoint and i replaced my drivers side cv axle last month so once I get the passenger side done it should ride on rails unless I loose a wheel bearing.
