I noticed in one of your more recent videos a brief snapshot of the more popular traditional long cylindrical tool. Do you now have both? Which do you reach for first, now? I got one of the knock off cheaper ones shown in this video, mainly because I'll rarely need it and it is probably OK for DIY use. But a pro might feel differently, even if it only reduces his job time by a couple of minutes. I'm guessing this one might not be quite as good for those that are really stuck.... What do you think?
Yes i have both now. I always reach for this tool in the video now when doing inner tie rods. Ever since i got this tool i dont think ive used tthe cylindrical one at all . this tool is a major time saver over using the tube style.
Mate, I had to come back and say thanks. I ordered one of these tools, heated the inner rod end after grinding off the outer rod and OMG, it came off far easier than I thought it would. Thanks!
As i'm so cheap I made my own removal tool. It has 4 nuts welded around the end of a tube with bolts that screw down onto the tie rod flats. The other end has a large 1/2 inch socket bolted in for the breaker bar/ torque wrench to slot into. That new tool looks pretty nifty, might be tempted.
Saw another guys where he took a pipe wrench and cut off the handle. Where the handle would be he welded a socket or square hole. Then you can use a extension and ratchet on it.
Interesting idea! Basically a pipe wrench with a half inch square socket near the teeth, allowing one to stand at the side and exert more torque. A pipe wrench wouldn't work as well because there is not enough room without a lift. The best thing about this is how small it is. Big specialty tools are a pain to store.
I have that same AEM I need tie rod took plus, a $5. Or $10. Dollar tie rod tool that looks like a exhaust clamp shape, it's cheap & works good but, the Aem dominates inner tie rods but, only if the outer tie rod is removed 1st. My green AEM tie rod tool came with 12-15 different size inserts.
The other tool you reviewed that looks like a muffler clamp, works better. The bite around the inner tie rod is spread out much more. There is no cam to wear out. You don't have to remove the outer tie rod from the inner tie rod. It is less expensive. And can be used for many other applications besides inner tie rod removal. I've used it successfully on several types of cars.
I agreed and also may be use for other application; however, the clamp one seems to be using 3/8 extension compare this one using 1/2/ which is much stronger.
Hi, I only need to use this two times (left and right side) and I don't need fancy OEM tools comes with so many adaptors and also so expensive. Which you would you pick to repair tie rod for a old corolla. I read some comments down below on the clamps is better because it opened and can adjust to many application (ie faucet, pipes etc.) but the one you show on video seems more solid build and it use 1/2 extension (more power). Which one you will pick? Thank you so much for sharing this video. You going to save me lot of $ on inner tie rod replacement. 👍
Hi how has this tool held up over the years just curious as I’m looking to see which is the best style of inner tie rod remover for a mk5 golf platform
Wow, this heather you using, am actually seeing it for the first time, very portable and handy, is is using gas or something, can I get it on ebay. And this tie rod tools is plastic, will this one last? I am happy to watch your tutorial right here, God bless you bruh!
Mine came in today took the inter tie rod off was like a hot knife through butter love the choice I made. It did break a loose like it didn't work, but it work well without heat.
I have a stuck inner with red lock tight. I used a 3/4 breaker with 1/2 inch adapter and the oem tool but the tool fails. The c- ring slips and spins around the flats on tierod and the ring on the tool come off. Tie rod will not budge. Think this new tool will work for me? Thinking the rack needs to come out or I need to cut the rod and devise something that I can weld into a 3/4 deep well socket.
now i wonder if this tool or the other one in your video which is better, they other one takes longer to setup be ause you have to tighten 2 nuts buy this tool you have to take all them parts off just to get it in. 🤔
The tool in this video is by far the best one. Usually if you're removing a inner you're also replacing the outer tie rod so it's no big deal to removing the outer tie rod. I've gotten cars with bent tie rods due to an accident and it prevents me from removing the outer. That's when the other tool shines. The tool in this video is my go to.👍
The inner tie rods have slits in it where u can use a wrench and just keep bumping it it inner tie rods don’t have much torque to them unless whoever put it on did it wrong
Will this tool work on a honda civic inner tie rod, where 32mm wrench fits on the tie rod head? (the head is like a cube and the 32 mm wrech fits on the cube)?? Thank you for your answer!
@@themechanic6117 only issue I have with using this to install tie rods is if the factory manual specifies a torque value you should tighten the inner tie rod to. With the tube you can just apply the correct amount of torque, whereas if you use this tool you need to do a little bit of math to work out how much torque you need to apply, unless you manage to angle the torque wrench to be exactly 90 degrees perpendicular to the direction of rotation
I have another question on torque specifications for 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier. For some reason many torques are very confusing on this car. I need just 2 of them: 1. For the Jam Nut on the Inner-Outer rods connection. What I found on forums (31-55 Ft-lbs), e-manual (nothing) and Haynes book (nothing), I think it is obvious mistake) varies a lot. Maybe it is not that big deal, bcs I'll go for alignment to a dealer anyway, but it would be good to know at least approximately. 2. For Outer TR End Nut. What I found on forums (33-50 Ft-lbs), e-manual (nothing for 2003, 31Ft-lbs for 1995, 44 Ft-lbs for 1997-1999) and Haynes book (84 in-lbs (7 Ft-lbs), I think it is obvious mistake) varies a lot. Thanks God I found in e-manual for Axle Nut 147 Ft-Lbs for 2003 Chevy Cavalier (and not like they give in Haynes 185 Ft-lbs, that was true for earlier models). I was about to apply 185 Ft-lbs and even bought a torque ranch in that range of torques. I even don't know what would happen if I would apply 36 more than needed, maybe nothing, it would be just hard to remove that Axle Nut next time. I think it so confusing for this car bcs there are a lot of variations on torques for models of different years. I would appreciate any opinion on those two torques, mentioned above. Thank you for the film again. For the Inner TR I'll be using that green OEM tool you have.
I've read that it is recommended to remove the rack before torquing on the inner tie rods (not to damage or break seals on that rack), but I see many films where Inner TRs are replaced without that complicated procedure. Is it for some models, or it is extra precaution? I changed those Inner TRs on one car (2001 Saturn SL2) and decided to do same thing on 2003 Chevy Cavalier. But there was a white plastic sleeve on the Inner TR of the Chevy, I started to do some research and came across this statement about the seals on the rack. Now thinking that maybe it is a reason, why for both cars Haynes Manual doesn't describe Inner TR replacement. Very confused and would appreciate any opinion on this matter. Thank you for the good film.
The white plastic is basically a stopper. It limits how much the rack can move to not damage anything. As far as removing a rack to tighten inner tie rods...nobody does that. Simply put it would be crazy. Thats like pulling your whole engine out of your car to change the air filter.
@@themechanic6117Thank you for the replay. I think I expressed myself not exactly: that plastic is not a stopper, it is kind of a soft shell covering the hemisphere of the Inner TR. In one film another person asked same question, bcs he found same plastic (or whatever material is) cover on the head of the Inner TR, but his was yellow color. That smooth shell is tiny, like 2 mm. That person got the answer in the style to remove the rack, to drop the rear subframe and everything of that kind. I agree all that is crazy. he said that the shell should be slided off the The TR head. Maybe in that part he was correct, I'll try to do it tomorrow, but doubt in the success. Maybe it will slide off and after a new TR is installed, it can be put on a new TR head.
@@themechanic6117 I tried to find now, but could not find that film, but I found the link on Impala Forum, where I ended up, that is where he (Doug) gives that recommendations. www.impalaforums.com/threads/inner-tie-rod-plastic-cover.867554/ www.impalaforums.com/threads/inner-tie-rod-plastic-cover.867554/ Maybe that Impala is particularly sensitive, but I think it is a good question to investigate, what can happen and when. And as you said very correctly, there is no single film, which recommend to do it that way (very complicated indeed). And also I found about that plastic cover: it is the plastic shock dampener. In one film he had exactly same thing, so I'll do it that way. It is @4:30 ruclips.net/video/BrAf5_FA5eE/видео.html Now I'm curious was it supposed to be that dampener on the Saturn I did before, or it is just Chevy, which has it? Maybe mechanic who did the Saturn Inner TRs before me just didn't put them on? Maybe that part is not so crucial, since no one put that plastic dampener on a new TR, besides like in that film above. Thank you for the attention to my question.
I see what you're talking about. I typically slide off the shell to change the inner TR then slide it over the new inner TR just how it was. Sometimes they go missing over the years. Someone forgets to put it back on. Its not really important seeing that most cars dont have them but if a car comes with one i always put it back on.
I tried two tube style kits on a Honda Pilot and neither fit. One tube would fit but no but that would fit and the other kit wouldn’t fit over the ball on the inner tie rod so I had to take one tube out of one kit then a nut out of the other to make something work. I’d rather try a different style like this.
They need to invent an inner tie rod tool that clamps around the inner rod when you cannot get the outer tie rod off. If you know of one let me know. Thanks
it will not work on all inner tie rods try it on a 94-97 honda accord and any tie rod that has a ball joint where it screws into the rack and pinion it will just turn the tie rod around the ball joint

I have another question on torque specifications for 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier. For some reason many torques are very confusing on this car. I need just 2 of them:
1. For the Jam Nut on the Inner-Outer rods connection. What I found on forums (31-55 Ft-lbs), e-manual (nothing) and Haynes book (nothing), I think it is obvious mistake) varies a lot. Maybe it is not that big deal, bcs I'll go for alignment to a dealer anyway, but it would be good to know at least approximately.
2. For Outer TR End Nut. What I found on forums (33-50 Ft-lbs), e-manual (nothing for 2003, 31Ft-lbs for 1995, 44 Ft-lbs for 1997-1999) and Haynes book (84 in-lbs (7 Ft-lbs), I think it is obvious mistake) varies a lot.
Thanks God I found in e-manual for Axle Nut 147 Ft-Lbs for 2003 Chevy Cavalier (and not like they give in Haynes 185 Ft-lbs, that was true for earlier models). I was about to apply 185 Ft-lbs and even bought a torque ranch in that range of torques. I even don't know what would happen if I would apply 36 more than needed, maybe nothing, it would be just hard to remove that Axle Nut next time.
