[bentt]

Can anyone recommend an Inner Tie Rod Removal Tool?? Thanks.

(Lisle, Blue Point, Mac & Matco appear to be the same.)

I have sold a few of those Lisles and not heard any complaints. You never hear if its good just when its not.

I've used my Lisle inner tie rod tool for the past 4 yrs almost daily and have had zero issues. Would recommend to anyone.

The Lisle is what everbody has as far as I know

Ive got the lisle also. 5 years old and still going strong. Just dont use it with an impact. Ive been quilty of it a few times on really stubborn tie rods, and its held up fine. I just need to buy the 2 extra adapters now (mine came with 5 originally, really old ones only had 4), and I think its almost cheaper to buy a new tool.

I bought the blue point because i needed the larger size option (42mm i believe) I didn't end up using it anyway because before my snap on dealer could get it i found a wrench which is what i wanted to start with. While looking for the 38mm, and 42mm wrenches i needed, I looked at the HF version which looks identical to the blue point one i paid like 4 times as much for, only it is the smaller version of it.

I have the Lisle one, never a problem yet.
