Re: What tool to turn tie rod adjusting sleeve?

What you need is the Proper Tool for the job. Here is a picture for reference, but you should be able to get one locally. Try a NAPA store or a specialty tools store if you live in a big enough city.

It "Hooks" in the slot and actually pulls in the opposite direction of the crushing that happens with pipe wrenches or other gripping tools. You turn it with a ratchet or breaker-bar.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
