CXPRO Inner Tie Rod Removal Tool Kit — 13‑Piece Set, 1/2" Drive, AISI 1045 Steel

The CXPRO Inner Tie Rod Removal Tool Kit is a complete 13-piece set designed to remove and install inner tie rods quickly and securely without removing the rack and pinion.

This mechanic-grade kit brings together a range of adapter sockets, a 1/2-inch drive tube with knurled grip, and a sturdy carrying case so you can service most vehicles' inner tie rods on the bench or at the curb. Built from AISI 1045 medium carbon steel, the tools offer strength and long-lasting wear resistance while the compact case keeps everything organized for shop or mobile use.

How does this kit save time compared with removing the rack and pinion?

The CXPRO set lets you access and turn inner tie rods through the steering rack opening, eliminating the lengthy steps of rack removal. That direct access reduces labor time and keeps alignment components undisturbed when you only need to replace the tie rod.

• 13-piece set covers tie rods from 1-3/16" to 42 mm for broad vehicle compatibility.
• Crowfoot-style adapters reach tight, recessed tie rods without extra disassembly.
• 1/2-inch drive tube provides the leverage needed to loosen and tighten secure fittings.
• Knurled grip improves control during one-handed maneuvers and reinstallation.

Which vehicle sizes and tie rod diameters will this set fit?

The kit includes twelve adapter sizes plus the drive tube to cover common inner tie rod nut diameters from small passenger cars to many light trucks. The labeled adapters make it easy to pick the correct fit and reduce the risk of rounding the fastener.

• Included adapter sizes: 1-3/16", 1-1/4", 1-5/16", 1-3/8", 1-7/16", 1-1/2".
• Metric sizes: 29 mm, 32.5 mm, 33.6 mm, 38.4 mm, 40 mm, 42 mm.
• Fits most OEM inner tie rods within that diameter range.
• Clearly marked pieces speed selection and reduce downtime.

What safety and usage tips should I follow when using the CXPRO inner tie rod tools?

Use steady, controlled force to avoid slippage or damage to the tie rod. The drive tube is designed for hand tools; do not use an impact wrench with these adapters to prevent adapter cracking or fastener damage.

• Do not use with impact wrenches — the kit is intended for hand-operated 1/2" drive tools.
• Apply penetrating oil first if fasteners are corroded to reduce breakage risk.
• Use a torque wrench when reinstalling to follow manufacturer specs.
• Wear eye protection and gloves for safe handling and better grip.

Who is this for? The CXPRO Inner Tie Rod Removal Tool Kit is built for professional mechanics, mobile technicians, and experienced DIYers who perform steering and suspension work and need a reliable, portable solution for inner tie rod service. Its broad size coverage, resilient AISI 1045 construction, and organized carrying case make it ideal for shops that want a durable, everyday tool set as well as hobbyists upgrading from single-size pullers. Keep in mind the kit is optimized for manual drive use and is not rated for impact tools.
