inner tie rod boot hose?
What’s going on HT
I just picked up a 94-dx hatch and the whole suspension was destroyed, so I replaced everything but the inner/outer tie rods. When I was looking at it today I saw a hose coming out of the boot, is this hose filled with fluid? can i remove it and just pop it back on after replacing the inner tie rod and boot? Also to remove the inner tie rod will a large adjustable wrench work or would a large open end wrench be better? Any help would be great

Re: inner tie rod boot hose?
No, it's not a power steering line. It's just a tube that runs between the two boots or bellows covering the inner tie rods. It's purpose is to allow airflow to pass from one boot to another while turning the steering. Don't leave it disconnected though because it will allow dirty air or dirt to enter inside and could potentially destroy the rack seals therefore leaking.
