I rented Saginaw tie rod tool #27042 from autozone but it does not fit on the one on the car. The replacement tie rod that i bought has a hex head that a tool would grip onto, but the one on the car has no hex head on it. It is perfectly round and i cant see how i am supposed to get it off. I have searched tons of forums and all i found is people who use a tie rod tool to grip the hex head. What am i missing. Someone told me to get on it with a pipewrench but there is no room in there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm afraid the pipe wrench or a large set of channelock pliers are the only things that will take it off. I know you may have a hard time accessing it but all can can tell you is "welcome to out world". Once you get it to break loose, it should come off the rest of the way easily by hand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. bronzeback5 New User Jul 1, 2009, 7:40 PM Post #3 of 4 (3050 views) Re: Inner Tie Rod replacement 99 Buick PA Ultra Sign In I managed to get some vise-grips on it and it busted loose as soon as i cranked on it. Well, i thought it did. Come to find out it had a plastic sleeve covering the head of it. So i popped it off with a hammer and screwdriver and there she be, an inner tie rod with a hex head that fit perfectly in the tool. One last question. The shaft that the inner screws into has alot of rusty looking grease on it. Should i just clean it up and put a thick layer of grease back on it? Does it matter what type of grease. Thanks.

They really don't use any grease on that. It's lubricated with oil from within the unit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
