MrEviLDeD Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have no way to get a new wrench for this @ 24mm could I get away with using a pipe wrench for this if I was careful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 You will need two wrenches at 24mm for the large style adjuster OR a 24mm and a 22mm for the round small style adjuster. A pipe wrench is alright for the adjuster itself (center section) if you don't mind making it ugly, but for the nut I would at least use a large crescent wrench..if you strip that nut with a pipe wrench then have fun getting it apart..

MrEviLDeD Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Something didn't feel right about using the pipe wrench so scrounged just enough to pick up a 24mm and a 27mm (lower ball joint crown nut) I think the center adjuster is 23mm and they didn't have one, so I am hoping the slightly loose 15/16" will suffice. Thanks again Negarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Once you break the nuts free, the center adjuster thing should turn fairly easily. Almost by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissanland Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Are you replacing both the tie rods or just the outer? Are you reusing the sleeve or replacing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEviLDeD Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Replacing inner, outer and adjuster on both sides. Just got finished passenger side.. I am out on the windings of the tie-rod ends as it pulls to the right pretty good now. I was unable to get the bolts apart. I made the mistake of trying to loosen them after I removed it instead of trying to loosen them while still on the vehicle. I will remember that for the drivers side.
