Tie rod help pleas

[green536@hotmail.com (Chris DeLong)]

well kinda the same idea as a crows foot. Except this tube encompasses the 
tierod. once the tool is installed you cant se the tie rod as it is inside 
the tube.

And yeah its the same procedure. except I think non PS tie rods have a lock 
nut. So you would have to loosen the locknut and then turn the tierod
