I've been searching around and have not found anything.

I need to replace the tie rods with modified ones that will allow me adjust my toe more. I need to replace the whole tie rod, not just the tie rod end.

I believe it's called the inner tie rod? Correct me if i'm wrong.

When looking at it, it looks like i need a big wrench to break the tie rod loose (the side where it goes into the steering rack)

Thanks.

This is a good question. I would also like to know too. My end links are all torn and popping and like you said cant seem to find them anywhere.

looking at the service manual doesnt seem helpful. They are only showing removing the entire rack to take it apart.

The inner tie rod has little bent washers to help retain it into the steering rack, you need to bend them flat and then as you say use a big adjustable wrench and some man strength to turn the big hex part of the inner tie rod to get it off. It helps to hold the bracket on the rack stationary with a pair of vice grips or similar and it will help to remove strut braces and heat shields and things in the area.

I have done this swap 3 times and I don't ever want to do it again.
