Default Question About Inner Tie Rods

Hello, I have a 1984 Corvette that I'm preparing to do a driver side inner tie rod end. Does anyone have any tips for replacement or recommendations as to a inner tie rod tool to use? Thank you!

Driver side is easy, with the rack in place. I think I used a cut off tool to remove the flats on the inner end and screwed it off. Used a hammer and punch to flatten the new one. I reused the dust boot because I didnt like way the new one fit.

Nothing special. Just normal hand tools. Its easier than the service manuals make it sound.
