Help: Inner Tie Rod Removal Tool

[Mr_Ferrari]

Could someone tell me the cowfoot tool size to removal the inner tie rod? Does

anyone has the procedure from the service manual? The information below is

from Lexus/Toyota steering housing overhaul tool set. I know one of the tools

is a 34 mm crowfoot wrench.

i nwent out and bought a big monkey wrench. like a 1 and 1/2 inch one that will fit about right. 1 inch is 25.4mm +1/2 which is 12.7= 38.1 so that fits right? well i used it and get a good wrench. because cheap ones go off on the setting when you give it touque

Thanks jzz30! I thought about the exact same thing, but I did not want to possible

damage the nut. I did find a service metric wrench 15-piece set for $50 at overstock.com. Plus I purchase a thin beak jaw adjustable wrench and plastic jaw

covers at Sears.

On the Website I use for my 300ZX nissan, they have a on-line motor/shop manual. I dont know who or how, but maybe someone can put an on-line LS400 manual on this site. I will try to find out how its done. HOpe the management reads this ( Just what they need ,,,more work!)
