Re: What tool to turn tie rod adjusting sleeve?

I need to keep the assembly together in order to test it's position until I get the truck to steer equally as possible.
Instead of pulling your hair out and fighting with it, you could have popped the tie rod out, removed it,handled your business w/ the adjusting sleeve and had it back together again. LOL
