0) disconnect no (7) from hub / king pin housing

1) remove split pin (2)

2) spray WD 40 or other creeping rust solvent oil at nut no. (1)

3) make a tool from a flat piece of iron which fits into the slots of retaining nut (1)

4) carefully remove nut (1) without damaging the threads of the track rod end

5) wiggle no. (7) until ball seat (3) comes loose, carefully remove it without tilting it

6) turn steering arm (7) to the proper position to slide it out of the slot of the track rod end (the ball is flattened on 2 sides). It should come off togeteher with the dust cover (6). Remove dust cover if damaged or stiff. 

7) pull out ball seat (4) and spring (5). You just need patience, dont tilt (4). It is possible to use a proper spax screw in the hole of the ball seat (4) to pull.

8) check everything for wear

9) get replacement parts for all worn out parts: retaining nut (1) (only if broken), (2), (3) and (4) only if worn out, (5) (only if too short), (6), (7) (a new steering arm is quite expensive, perhaps the old one can be overhauled) To overhaul the steering arm, make sure, the ball has no dents or grooves and it can freely turn in the ball seats (3) and (4). The latter normally are harder and not worn out, but check at your car, also  if they are not rusted. You carefully can file down any edges which might have come by wear on the ball. Use finest sand paper to create a smooth surface with the same radius than before.

10) slide new dust cover (6) over the ball. Use grease and patience.

11) put spring (5) and ball seat (4) into housing without tilting it. Use lots of grease.

12) slide rubber (6) over the track rod end, then fit greased ball of steering arm (7) into the slot of the track rod end by turning it to the proper angle.

13) put greased ball seat (3) back in

14) screw cleaned and greased retaining nut (1) in carefully all the way in (don't force it). Then loosen the nut 1/16 of a turn. The ball should nicely and freely move in the housing now.

15) put a new split pin in.

16) when you mount everything on the hub, make sure the arm (7) has enough room in the housing to steer and allow full up and down movement of the wheel. To adjust, turn housing.

17) when everything is done, adjust toe out. (distance between edges of rims in front 0...3mm wider than in the back of rims).
