Default tie rods... not for a 350 though

im installing a HICAS remover for my 300zx... and im having a hard time taking the tie rods out. Does anybody have any information on how i can go about doing this?

i know this probably isnt the right place... but the guys on the 300zx forums are douche bags. they arent helpful like the people on this board. i drive a 350 too, but the 300 is the project/track car... so im getting some experience on modifying this one. thanks for anybody's help

I dont think you are not turning the right bolt if it keeps turning, what you need to do is remove the rubber boot in the inner side and there is a big nut youll need to break loose, i think it was a 24mm or something. You will need a open ended combo wrench.
