Inner rod ends Tight as...

[marc1330]

In the middle of a front end refresh and almost there but for the inner tie rods. They are so fookin tight its untrue!
Does anyone have any tips? Im using a 32mm viscous spanner with the 36mm end cut off.

Hit the spanner with a hammer.

Big grips that tighten as you put force on them.

Special tool, they have threadlock on them too.

Stilsons + blowtorch always works for me.

Strange you're having such big problems, I did mine a couple of months back using just a viscous fan spanner, not even cut down and some grips on the rack to minimize strain on it and they undid pretty easy.

Have you had any luck with them yet? Heating should do the trick though

Trackrod tool and a decent length breaker bar on it makes them completely trivial.
