Default Re: Correct Tie Rod End Boots

Here is what the tool looks like Dave. Many Auto parts stores will rent these but you can buy ones pretty cheap. They are also adjustable ones available though much more expensive. Since you are going to replace the tie rods anyway, I would simply hit the end of the threaded pin with a drift and a heavy hammer after applying some localized heat to it.
