Inner Tie Rod Tool Size?
Can someone please tell me the correct size of the flats on the front inner tie rods? It appears to be metric as none of the US sized adaptors available to me worked. Believe it or not Google has failed me in my searching.

Thank you for your guess though. I will be able to measure it tomorrow afternoon, I was just hoping to order an adaptor online tonight in hopes of receiving it in time to do the swap this weekend. I'll post up the measurement for future use.

13mm is definitely way too small for the C5. The closest was 1 7/16 which was slightly too big and kept popping off. The next smallest size I saw in a metric kit online is 33.6mm.

I measured the stock inner tie rod flats to be 1.413 inch = 35.9mm = 36mm wrench
The Moog replacement has two sets of flats, one measures 1.413 inch and the other 1.408 inch.
