What tool to remove inner tie rod end?

[CapnSpaulding]

The kit you can rent only goes up to 42mm and I think the 200 series is closer to 50mm. The tool itself won’t even clear the ball much less the crows feet pieces.

What did yall use? Swaybar is in the way to use a pipe wrench unless I need to remove it too.

I did mine a while back with a pipe wrench without removing the sway bar. Don’t have to turn it much with the wrench to break it free or lock it back up. You can twist it off and on by hand for the rest.

If you have room a big pair of channel locks work great too, most inner tie rod are held by a locking washer or pin make sure to check which one you have. Most inner tie rod are torque between 60-85 Ft-lbs. Red Loctite is your friend.
