Help Need tie rod tool in NE Ohio
Anyone know where to get a tie rod tool for removing the inner tie rod, I have tried Napa, autozone, Carquest, Advance, Federated.
This is a need once then never again but need it bad as car is on lift ready for it as I thought Autozone had them on the loaner program but theres does not fit the new style.
Thanks for any help

if you are trying to remove the inner tie rod itself, it's nothing more than a 1 1/4" or 1 5/16" hex nut on it. or could be just two flat sides. no need for the special tool. i have it and it sits in my toolbox because it's a pain to use. just remove the outer tie rod end, locking nut, and boot. you'll see what i'm talking about. if you have your new inner tie rod end, you can look at it and see what wrench is needed to turn it with.
