Anyone lock or counter hold the rack whilst loosening the inner track rods? Or do you just get on with it? I'm usin this:
No, new need mate. I tried one of them for inner track rods a few years back and found it useless I use one of these http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=151373799378&globalID=EBAY-GB
Been a faff tbh with that tool. Got into a offers war. Then it arrived, despite being 27-42mm it turned out to be 35-42mm which wouldn't close enough so I've not w got the 27-42mm but haven't tried it yet. Will that other one tighten?
The one I've shown? Yes it will mate we had the same style on at stratstone when I worked there. The one I have has 3 different ends for different sizes
It was a volvo dealer in Burton on Trent, since changed hands now and are now a vw dealer. Safe to say the worst company ive worked for lol
Well you were right (kinda) It came off: It went back on and gripped ok for a initial tightening. Then when I went to torque it I couldn't get it to grip. So I'll be buying the aforementioned.
