Does anyone have one i can borrow/buy? ecas is out of stock and some other suppliers seem to think they can charge 40% more for the same tool!

a 9mm (iirc) spanner on the flats of the rod should do the trick.

its such a pain in that ass to do it with one though. i guess its sort of worth taking a bit more time and saving 15 bucks. maybe....

the proper 'tool' is a pita too - although it does make it a bit easier. i think spanners had some home brewed device that incorporated a ratchet. That was some bit o'kit.

what about cutting a tie rod sized chunk out of the ring (oo errr) on a 9mm spanner? that might give a bit more contact on the flats?

Best to unscrew the rods from the end piece, clean the threads up & copaslip 'em. Then adjusting the heights is a joy to do.

i know that that is the correct way to do it.but i dont want to find that i need to replace the knife edges too. out of sight and all that. (im pretty low on cash right now, i need to stop/cut down on boozing)
Neil, how much did that bit of 38mm? exhaust pipe you got for tha acad cost you? i need to get a bit about the same length as the torpedo silencer that i have removed, i cant actually hear myself thing in the car at the moment. but it does sound bad ass.

Whoa there Neil, Spanners has got the genuine Citroen tie-rod adjuster tool!

Joe, if you're willing to travel to Birmingham, you can borrow it. Unfortunately I don't trust the postal service so am unwilling to post it to you to borrow.

Sorry mate.

thanks for the offer mate, for the petrol cost i might aswell buy one/deal with taking the tie rod ends off or using a 9mm spanner.

(i dont blame you about the post at all!)

The big hexagon with a 9mm slot? I think I have one. PM your address. If I do, maybe payment is the promise that you'll share it about with anyone that needs one? Sound fair?
