I like to find out since I need to replace both inner and outer.

at a quarter million miles the steering feels like a 50's cadillac. Even with a Full susp. and A032r.

Did you remove the boot around the inner tie rod? If not remove it and I think you will need 24mm wrench to remove the inner tie rod end.

Yeah the tool you need is called a wrench! Seriously, take off the inner boot and take a wrensh to it, and it will come right off.

Take off the boot.

Bend the washer, so that it is straight and not holding onto anything.

Take a wrench and unscrew the inner Tie Rod off.

Its like a 15 minute job once you figure it out.
