There should be a spot on the inner tie rod where its flat enough for you to get a big adjustable wrench and turn it.

SPL's site has instructions on removing and installing new inner tie rods, in case someone else needs to reference.

IIRC a 1 1/8 open end wrench

dahbeeed · 08-13-2008, 09:47 PM

why not just buy the inner tie rod tool?

I just used a pipe wrench and some elbow grease. Does the job just fine.

Or use the nice breaker bar technique. Two wrenches, one on the IR and the other on the other end of the wrence, and you know the rest.
