I got what looks the exact same tool but it kept slipping on the nut . Not getting a good grip . I got tool rental from OReillys. I got the closest wrench adapter to the nut and read the instructions. I locked it in place with the locking mechanism. Still no luck. Tomorrow I’ll try again. I used it at junkyard and couldn’t get it off . Finally just bought it at AZ . Tomorrow try to get the one off my 15 Ford Fusion SE 2.5 L and put in the new one . Anything you can advise?
trying to heat up the joint with a small torch, they have locktite on them which makes them very tight. Heat it up for a solid 2min and then try again with the tool
I just used one of this on my envoy. Got a loaner tool from o'Reilly's. Costed $104 after tax. Should get a full refund when its returned. Have to admit it's a pain to use but it does work. Next time I'll just buy a different version from Amazon.
😅 Dude wastes two minutes of our lives showing us how to lock the tool and then figures out he has to take it apart before putting it on the tie rod. That was painful to watch.
Great camera angles! Thanks for sharing.

@@OneTrickTech that weakens the loctite ?
yes@@frankmontez6853
I had this same problem. Did you ever get it to work?
@@chaycecayenne37 no
When installing the inner tie rod should you clean the threads, dry, and put Loctite Blue on the threads of the new tie rod?
yes always
Excelente una muy buena clase de esta maravillosa herramienta, Saludos desde Sonora México *LIKE !!!*
And the boot goes over it and no grease?
no need for grease just put loctite on the thread for the inner tie rod
Nice one
5:28 with comment at 5:45, that's what the washer is for. You tossed the new one aside at 1:08 and did not reinstall it at 7:31
does not fit onto the rack
Mine will not break loose with the tool it’s grabbing it and all any tips ??
need to heat it up with a propane torch. They are installed with some lock tite so use heat to and it will help you loosen it.
Will a possible actleyene torch work? Don’t have a propane bottle
I can't get the f n thing to stay on...I got the tight fight...hammered it on, still slips off.
do you have the inner tie rods with the round end?
Get the other tool that is U shaped. This one sucks
I got one of these to do my inner tie rods and mine are round no flat spots lol so I couldn't use it
yea for those you probably need the universal tie rod removal or a pipe wrench

You should have just bought it you never know when family or friends might need help.
Buy the tool...now you got a side skill to charge your family...lol
That wasn't the correct size, it was too big, but i guess it still worked for you.
Do yourself a favour next time... turn the wheel to extend the rack towards you.
Yes!!
Don't use this tool this tool sucks! Get the one that looks like a U shape!
This tool is a nightmare to get on.

I was thinking 'here give me the damn thing I'll show you how it works' 😆
Glad my 03 F150 didn't need this...seems like a pain in the a$$
I hate this tool lol
