Trying to get the tie rods out of my 2000 VW Jetta TDI was literally impossible until I got this tool. I spent hours trying to find a way to remove (unscrew) them from the steering box. The Factory Repair Manual (FSM) says to pull the steering box out (hard work in itself) and then use a vise to remove the tie rods from it. Another option is to take it to the dealer and have them make it for $500 or more. Get this tool. Spend money. After getting the tool and eventually dropping the correct size adapter, it took me about 45 seconds to undo each zip tie and install a new replacement block. The steering gear did not have to be realigned, bled etc. Install new tie rod ends and then take them along for realignment. I thought this tool costs a lot of money when I first looked at it, but it's cheap compared to paying someone else and the job becomes a breeze once you have it. Save yourself money and a lot of time and frustration, get this tool. It comes with a good range of adapters, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles.
