quick tie rod ?

sometimes cheap tools come thin too, or you can take a tool and grind it down to fit

yeah i went and bought a set of cheap wrenches from harbor freight but dont have the means to grind it down the shitty kit my dad got for his drill would take me days!!! plus i dont know which one to grind down....so if anyone has the size that would be awsome and maybe i can find a bench grinder somewhere to take away my pain!! lol

Try using a big pipe wrench/monkey wrench to grip the knuckle of the inner tie rod...it worked for me...

I just got my FC, so I havent had a chance to actually work on it, but make sure your turning it the right direction, Some older cars I have worked on have reverse threads, but then again, those cars had inner and outter tie rod ends. I havent run into that for most of the newer cars with rack and pinoin steering

I can't help you with what size it is, why don't you measure it?

Can i ask where you got the GP sports super angle kit from? And how much?

Is it similar to what SuperNow! offer?
