I need to install a new Inner Tie Rod on the passenger side. Do I need to get a Inner tie rod tool or is there enough room to use a adjustable wrench. I have a 1 1/4 wrench but I do not think I have the 1 5/16 wrench. I can get the tool from Oriely's Loan a Tool Program but if I do not need to waste the gas that would be great.
The directions say that I need to remove the driver side bellow also to hold the rack from moving, any tips.
Thanks

You can use a plumbers wrench, which costs less than $10 at a hardware store. To remove the boot use bent nose or long-reach needle nose pliers to remove the pressure clip in front. The larger clip at the back needs to be cut for removal, it is not reusable. Use a zip tie in its place when you put the boot back on. If you only lift one wheel off the ground the rack won't move so no need to hold it.
