Inner tie rod civic coupe 2003. Please help!
Does anybody know how to get the inner tie rod out from a Honda Civic LX coupe 2003?
No tools will fit, I already tried.

I took mine to a friend that works at Big O' Tires. They had to get a special tool from Snap-On. I didn't find out which one he got, but they got the rods swapped out with it. The rods are just too long to use the tools you can get from AutoZone or O'Reilly's.

Unfortunately, I don't know which one they used. My guess would be the tube (last one), but it doesn't show specs like the length. If it's long enough, it'll work.

I also read where you could use something like this:

Amazon.com: CTA Tools 4014 Inner Tie Rod Tool: Home Improvement Amazon.com: CTA Tools 4014 Inner Tie Rod Tool: Home Improvement

Good luck!

OP... did you try it after removing the outer tie rod first and using a tool like this: https://www.otctools.com/sites/defau...95A_2802_0.jpg
