Toolwiz Universal Inner Tie Rod Hex Wrench Repair Removal Tools 27-42mm for C...

I tried a big pipe wrench. I tried all my adj wrenches. I don't really understand why the big pipe wrench didn't work. But this tool did. I didn't even have to position it on the flattened part of the tie rod. It worked on the round part and barely left a mark. It didn't slip at all. On one side, I had a hard time unscrewing it even after I got it moving. This tool is so effective I could just hold it with my hand, slide it 30 degrees at a time, and crank on the breaker bar with a 18" extension on it. It releases to slide and then bites back down no problem. I'm so glad I didn't buy the whole tie rod remover kit with the long sleeves and inserts. Even the traditional version of this where you tighten the two nuts on the u shaped bolt would have been 10x harder to use. This thing is amazing. It's amazing.

I have multiple inner tie rod removers. To be completely honest, this isn't my go-to...but when you need it, you NEED it. IT SAVED MY BUTT, heres why: My sisters 2014 elantra GT 2.0 is a trooper. It hits curbs OFTEN, poor thing. The most recent time it ended up with a lower control arm that just kind of looked like a folded taco shaped pretzel. When i was down there i noticed the outer tie rod was a little bent, and the inner had lost its boot. Here is where it gets hairy. The thing does not have a slot for any wrench/tire rod tool. Literally the inner tie rod is just a round freaking ball. Confused, i first turned to google, where the consensus was to REMOVE THE RACK AND PINION AND TAKE A PIPE WRENCH TO IT ON YOUR BENCH. Aint nobody got time for that. Enter this little tool. Put a long 1/2 extension on there, with a big ratchet or breaker bar and it came right off. Got it done just as fast as the normal slip-on type inner tie rod tool. The aftermarket moog tie rods i put on thankfully had a slot for tool/wrench so installation was easy. My girlfriend drives a 99 lifted 4runner, so inner tie rods and ball joint work has become pretty much a yearly activity.

Worked great exactly what is needed

I would have loved this at 20, it's usable at 30, but I'm not using this again. Replaced two inner tie rods on a 2001-2004 Toyota Camry. This thing was able to slide over the outer tie rods on both sides, with only removing the retaining nuts to the spindle. My boots were already torn, so I sliced those puppies out of the way and got this contraption into place. It's a PITA to get this in the right position to effectively grab the tie rod to break it loose, but 20 minutes, 10 words that would make grandma blush and a couple of deep breaths got this free. I had to use a reducer to 3/8's and (3) 8 inch extensions to get this in a usable position without the risk of racking my knuckles on the steering and suspension components, but she got 'er done. Was able to tighten more easily than loosen.

Muy bueno

I had high hopes for this tie rod tool with all of the good reviews. Unfortunately it didn't work. It wouldn't bite AT ALL. The teeth were beyond dull and whole tool was coated with paint rendering it absolutely useless. Really bad and soft metal used to make this tool as well. Even though it wouldn't bite I managed to dent the teeth. I threw away the box/package that it came in so I'm not sure I'll be able to return it. At least it's was pretty inexpensive. I'm just gonna have to rent a kit from my local auto parts store. If you want to have success on your tie rods you'd be wise to do the same. This tool is a nothing but a frustrating headache to try to use and a horrible waste of money.

it barely fit on the removal (original Toyota) which i was able to remove. But did NOT fit on the new install (TRQ) by about 1.5 mm. What a pain, ive got to order a different one. The tool itself is of decent quality.

I bought this one by tool whiz as the parts of it that grip are well made. they had others that were cheaper but the teeth that grip didn't look as wellmade as this one. It requires you to use 1/2 inch extentions and a 24 inch breakover bar to help get enough leverage. I used it to remove ineer tie rods on a 2005 pontiac grandprix and it did very well after the learning curve. to install the tie rod just revers the direction you put it on the tie rod so it gets a good grip for installation.

軽自動車で使用。 レビューでダメみたいな事を見ましたが、硬くしまっていたラックエンドが滑らず外れました。ちょっと噛み込ませるポイントを見つけるとズレないです。 使用後の山もしっかり残っており何度も使えそうです。(機会は少ないが)

Great tool works excellent

totally useless item, would not even latch onto a standard nut nevermind a tie rod the "teeth " on it are made of butter ant not deep enough to grip anything

Quite fiddly but did do the job. Removal wasn't easy but was able to get the tie rod off using the tool. I would suggest using an adjustable wrench if space allows. Build quality was good. Good to keep in the tool chest for future.

Does the job perfectly 👌
