    Inner Tie Rod removal

    I am at the point where I have everything on the driver's side out of the way. Control arm is out, tie rod ball joint is freed from the strut housing. I have pulled back the locktabs on the inner ball joint. Is there any way to get this out of the steering rack without a puller? Bentley says to fit a wrench on there and unscrew. I only have a large water pump style wrench that can fit on there and it sucks. I don't care if it gets trashed because I have all new stuff though. What do I need to do?

    i just use a big cresent, i dont see how anything else could work. I usually dont even take off the tabs, they dont seem to make life any harder to unscrew the ITR.

        Done. Now tell me the easy way to press on the control arm bushings. Holy fuck they are tight.

              Wow dish soap. They should package it with the bushings. Thanks.
