Inner Tie Rod End Removal
It seems 7th gen civics have longer inner tie rod ends than most cars so all the inner tie rod end pipe style tools I used are too short.. Any recommendations?
Somebody recommended the Lisle 45750 but it also looks to short..
Thanks!

Re: Inner Tie Rod End Removal
Service manual shows using 2 Crescent wrenches (one on tie rod, one on center mount)-----AFTER the rack is out of the car. It doesn't tell how to remove them while the rack is still mounted in the car. I'd think you could figure out the wrench size needed for the tie rod and then locate a Crowsfoot to use with a long extension. 
This one looks interesting 
I hope all these pics post ok....
