Thread: Inner tie rod removal tool suggestions?? (Help)

this is gravy work!

It sure is! I was awaiting your response @Keo

What methods/tools did you end up using?? (I know you have had your fair share of G20s in the past)

the first tool are the easier/better one imho.

Thanks @Keo! Exactly the answer I was looking for!

P.S Hammered the bracket off the axle like you and @Vadim said. Worked like a charm

Don't measure the round portion. Measure the square portion.

@BenFenner, here is your measurement



Looks to be around 1.178 inches

Also known as 30mm. =]
I guess you could probably make due with a 1-3/16" tool.

Now you know what size tool you'll need. However looking at the pictures and descriptions of the tools, it looks like all of them except the 1st are designed to work with a hex part BEFORE the ball.

We have the square part AFTER the ball, and the only tool that looks like it would work with that configuration is the first one you posted.

Thanks Ben!

Keo also stated this above. I just cannot picture how the setup, with the ball being "slightly" bigger than the square portion itself, fitting over the "round" portion before fitting over the sqaure portion and work (if you see what I am saying).

Does it make sense what I am saying (not trying to be condescending, just trying to picture it)??

We're on the same page buddy. Maybe I edited my post too late.
