    That’s what adjustable tie rod wrenches are for: Image of an Adjustable Tie Rod Wrench from Matco Tools

    They make em in all different size ranges.

    I am an avid fan of Fast Orange, but Gojo is good too. Wear long sleeves and pants (yes, even in summer here in California in triple digit weather) made of 100% cotton and you only really gotta worry about cleaning your hands if you don’t wear gloves.

      Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s for rotating the inner tie rod when adjusting toe, not for replacing the inner - though I do love purpose made tools.

      I do a lot of track days and racing, so my toolkit is usually pretty minimal since I don’t own a semi to haul my tools over. My rule is usually “make do with what you have twice. If you’re still swearing the second time, go buy a quality dedicated tool and find room in the mobile tool box”.
