Inner tie rod puller

Bobzilla said

The tool is basically a socket. It becomes more clear with the boot removed.
The u-shaped insert slips onto the body of the inner tierod like an open end wrench. The large part of the tool goes on over the threaded end of the inner tie rod (with the outer tie rod removed) and interlocks with the u-shaped insert. Then you just use a ratchet and turn that like a socket.

My ITR was a different style with the flats on the large round portion, not a nut behind it. Plenty of meat to clamp onto with a pipe wrench. I was wondering what those smaller feet fit and now I know. Why they dont make the flats like a hex is probably a .50 cost issue as that woul dallow you to grab the flats with a standard ~1 3/16 open end and more importantly at the correct angle. My flats torqued were right across the top on both ITR's Not the best to get a wrench on but with a pipe wrench it doesnt matter.
