Inner tie rods - what tool?

On a pre 9Axxxx D3 what tool will I need to loosen the inner tie rod from the rack? Also how tight does it have to be torqued back up to - can't find it anywhere in the manual... 2006 TDV6 HSE Wrapped Matt Black STOLEN NOT RECOVERED

I use a big pair of stilsons. Torque is supposed to be 100nm but just tight with stilsons has been fine for me. Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

Cheers Bodsy - I've ordered a 14inch stilson - hopefully that will do the job 2006 TDV6 HSE Wrapped Matt Black STOLEN NOT RECOVERED

A pair of stilsons is technically one stilson.
A strap wrench may do it, but if don't think so as it's on pretty tight and the radius isn't that big so the leverage isn't high.
Stilsons are cheaper than paying someone to do it Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

Yeah - when I saw How cheap a stilsons wrench was I reckoned it wasn't worth messing about with the Boa thing! Cheers for the advice. 2006 TDV6 HSE Wrapped Matt Black STOLEN NOT RECOVERED

Regarding unscrewing/tighten the inner tie rod end , is there any risk of destroying the rack itself?
