🔧 OEMTOOLS 27178 Master Inner Tie Rod Tool Set, Efficiently Remove & Install Tie Rods in Cars, Pickups, and SUVs, Complete with 12 Crowfoot Adapters & 1/2 Inch Drive Tube Review

a ridiculous amount. My Yaris was the hardest and the least space. I had to remove the entire subframe to remove the tie rod. Went to les shwabb and asked them to do an alignment and they said 1 was loose (I forgot to put the red thread in and came loose) got paid for the job and saw them use this long hose to take it off and started exploring what it was. Found it and it's been amazing ever since. The next project is the Yukon.

This is a good quality tool but with 12 wrenches you'd think you had one for every job. Not this case. The largest wrench (42mm) was not large enough to fit the stock tie rod on my 2006 Ford F150 4WD. In addition, the correct wrench to install the replacement tie rod (Raybestos) was not supplied. I have emailed OEM Tools to see if alternative wrenches are available but have not received a response. So if you know the box has the correct key, this is a great tool. But if you trust the…

Bought because of the number of adapters. However, fitting the tool with the correct adapter can be awkward: if the wrench flats on the tie rod are inside the ball joint, the adapter must first be balanced on the wrench flats, then carefully slide the tool body over the tie rod and ball joint. , Engage the adapter's locking pins, then turn the retaining ring. It's not particularly difficult, but unless you lock the yoke, the adapter can easily be knocked out of position and fall onto the garage

I've had absolutely bad experience using this on a Factory 02 Lancer Es tie rod. I would have to use a surface grinder to thin out one of the end pieces to fit the factory tie rod. I had to buy tools in the form of universal clamps to loosen them and then manually remove them. This worked on the secondary tie rod, but the detents would hit the frame and the locking mechanism would loosen due to scratching the frame. So I had to sand down the tabs so they wouldn't hit the frame. I could probably

This tool is available from different manufacturers and in many designs. I chose this one because it included a Toyota 29mm adapter and a few others. No, it won't break, fall apart and fall apart. This is a heavy duty, heavy duty tool that can easily remove the inner tie rod with 1/2 turn. The 1/2" drive connector is a snug fit with no play. AN IMPACT WRENCH IS NOT REQUIRED and its use is not recommended by the manufacturer. During installation, increasing the torque to 60 ft-lbs was just as…

Extremely insufficient information in the product description, this tool does not have the ability for the pivot to slip through the steering knuckle when replacing inner tie rods for most light duty Commercial vehicles and many large SUVs. It removes those installed by the manufacturer, but installing replacement inner tie rods requires the purchase of a different tool with a slightly larger neck, whether made by the vehicle manufacturer or an aftermarket manufacturer. The tool itself is great

This should be the most complete inner tie rod tool kit you can buy in this price range. The advert seems to say you get 11 different sizes, but somehow I got 12. Well, bonus I guess. The double flange houndstooth design is a great option as it allows the flexibility to move with the receiver in tighter areas than usual. The only thing I have a complaint about is the retaining ring. Upon inspection it was found that the ring had not been machined quite correctly and therefore there was not…
