99 PA Inner Tie Rod
Does one need the tie rod removal tool to remove the inner tie rod. Or does it have a place towards the outer end where you can get a wrench on it. Thanks.

Re: 99 PA Inner Tie Rod
Allright, i dug into it after work and everything went good for once. I got the outer tie rod off and the boot for the inner tie rod. I borrowed a tool from autozone to remove the inner tie rod. They gave me Saginaw tie rod tool part # OEM27042. I tried to put it over the joint and i cannot get it to fit on it. I noticed that the new inner i bought has somewhat of a hex head on it that the tool would grip onto. The inner that is on the car is just smooth, no hex for the tool to grab onto. What am i to do now? I see that there is another company that sells a tie rod tool kit that comes with different crows feet for different size tie rods, but i am thinking that would do me no good since the one i am dealing with is perfectly round. Arrrggghh, things were going so smooth. It never fails, never. Any help?

The inner rod that is on there has no nut on there. It is totally round unlike the replacement i bought.

Re: 99 PA Inner Tie Rod
I managed to get some vise-grips on it and it busted loose as soon as i cranked on it. Well, i thought it did. Come to find out it had a plastic sleeve covering the head of it. So i popped it off with a hammer and screwdriver and there she be, an inner tie rod with a hex head that fit perfectly in the tool. One last question. The shaft that the inner screws into has alot of rusty looking grease on it. Should i just clean it up and put a thick layer of grease back on it? Does it matter what type of grease. Thanks.

Re: 99 PA Inner Tie Rod
Most tie -rod ends come with a small dispenser of synthetic grease for this purpose, did you not you have one included with the package? If not, use typical wheel bearing grease, synthetic is better!
