  • Just the tool for the job!
I tried three times to remove my inner tie rod to no avail. I used the long cylinder tool, a large wrench and even vice grips and none of them would get it to budge. So I did some research online and found this type of tool seemed to work for many people. I checked at Autozone, O'Reilly's and NAPA and none of them had this tool. So I was lucky to find it available on Amazon for under $20 so I gave it a try. It's pretty easy to get the tool on the inner tie rod, you can see on my photo the outer tie rod is already removed. In theory you could remove the inner tie rod with the outer tie rod attached to it if it is detached from the control arm, but it is way easier to do it once the outer tie rod is removed. Just remember to count the number of turns it takes to remove the outer tie rod then when you put it back on turn it the same number of times. Once I got the tool on the inner tie rod I tightened the two nuts, I believe they were 14mm. Then I took my 3/8 ratchet with a short 3in extension and turned it and with just a little bit of effort it turned! I was so happy this tool worked because it would have been a huge expense to have a shop replace the tie rods if I couldn't do it myself. Even if I never have to change another inner tie rod this one time purchase was well worth the time and money saved. ... show more

  • Never used it, but appears to be great quality. Still have it in the case 😂
Purchased this for my 2013 ford escape which unfortunately the engine and transmission went out so I never got to use it. But it’s heavy and seems to be great quality.

  • Worked perfectly for inner tie rods. No issues.
This tool helped me get inner tie rods off on 2007 Audi A4 2.0T. Center it around inner tie rod section right next to the part that screws into the outer tie rod. Tighten the two nuts on the tool snuggly. They don't need to be real tight. Add multiple 3/8 or 1/2 extensions with adapter to come out past the wheel well. Broke the inner tie rods loose with some moderate force applied. I used them to help tighten up the new ones too. Had nothing but a good experience with this little $13 tool. Sure beats trying to use a 38mm crows foot or something. "BeerWrench Garage" youtuber recommended this tool, and he was right. ... show more

  • Almost returned, but gave it one last shot and it worked!
Was originally gonna return this item because I didn't think it was going to work for me. I didn't have enough clearance or a long enough extension to get enough leverage on the breaker bar. Word of advice, turn your steering wheel to give yourself more room!! No clue why I didn't think of that for the first 2 days of trying to get this to work. As soon as I had enough room, the tie rods broke loose first try! They worked okay for putting the new ones back on, but it's difficult to tell if they're torqued well enough so I would recommend using a different tool for installation. ... show more

  • Worked like i hoped!
Honestly didn't expect this to work since I saw mixed reviews. But, this worked great on my inner tie rods on my 2014 camaro. Was able to get them loose without much issue, and the was with my car just on Jack's stands and me laying under the car !

  • Cheaper and just as effective as the large tie rod tool sets
Love how small and useful this tool is. Much cheaper than those tie rod tool sets. If you are only doing this job a few times, this tool is more than enough. The threads on this tool did not strip and I was able to use it to both take out and install the tie rods on my car.
