Default Inner tie rods

Quick question, what wrench can you use to get the inner tie rods out? Would just a regular monkey wrecnch work? I heard 1.25 or 19mm but I just wanted to make sure.


Thanks.

Oh I was gonna say whats a pipe wrench haha

But this thread is over, tamboo said he'll give me his tool, and that will make it a smooth breeze. Much needed too, because my steering wheel is still shaking from like 3 threads ago, and its dangerous. Took me like 2 months to figure out it was the damn inners

If anybody needs the tool after I get it, pm and ill send it your way.

I've used a large crescent wrench and inner tie rod tool. The tool that tamboo linked looks like it will work well.

You can rent the inner tie rod tool from most auto parts stores. Oreilly's has them for like $60.

The clamp style tool works great. You just can't turn it 360 degrees without the tool hitting the frame of the car. That's when the monkey wrench comes in handy. You can use the tool to break the inner tie rod loose and to torque it down.
