Inner tie rod socket size?

[pmezo33]

I was able to finally measure it for ya.
It measure's approximately 38.5mm.  Z
I hope it helps any of our prestige members out.

Thanks for confirming that.  Appreciate it.

I hope you didn't pull that tie rod just for this thread though.

No worries actually was curious myself but IMHO its my pleasure to help out the ecoboost community in any way i can.
I'm hoping the tool you ordered is deep enough to go over the end of the tie rod and hope everything goes smooth without a hitch.  Z

That's some dedication right there, and i definitely do appreciate it, but your car is going to need an alignment now if that was pulled from your car.  I didn't want to put you through all that trouble.  I hope that was just a spare part you got a hold of. 

If it was from your car... out of curiousity, what did you use to pull yours?

And I haven't ordered the tool yet.  Probably will a little later today.  They're all deep enough to get over the tie rod, even the smaller sizes, it's just getting them correctly on the thread.  I think I should be good with that master set.  Really would have preferred to rent the tools, but it is what it is.

Did you ever find out the correct size socket? Probably doing both inner and outer in the next week or so.

1-1/2 inch sized adapter worked.  I used this set.  None of the part stores rented a tool with an adapter in that size, so i just bought one.

Looking back, an adjustable wrench would have been a cheaper option.  Would have worked fine as long as it opened to at least 1-1/2 inches.

BTW Funny Topic though. 

38.5 mm = 1.5 inchs
