What's the torque spec for the outer tie rod nut?

[@bpetertube]

This is what I was able to find on the internet for my car. Please re-check the values for your model / model year. Outer tie rod end to steering swivel member is 35 Nm 26 (ft lbs). Tie rod end locknut is 70Nm (52 ft lbs). Inner tie rod end is 90Nm (66 ft lbs).

What year was that saab ,think i have the right ones for my 2004 they look the same as yours with the red protective bit as well ,i think the later ones have bigger threads as far as i know after 2008 i think

I used the same tool and it just keeps clicking as I'm trying to remove the inner tie rod.. it's annoying and it's not coming off. Im using the right size crow foot which is a 33.6

Just did mine right now as I post this. Other youtuber saab dr said 1 3/8 but that kept spinning. I hammered on 33 with a pry bar smacking it on as it was a tight fit and it worked for me

@joshrawks21 Oh okay, I no longer have the car. Glad you were able to figure yours out though
