That will work.

It will work but is a bit awkward to use, I use one like this:

Its not even a 2 minute job using one of those, other than the fact getting the boot back onto the pipe from the rack can be fiddly sometimes, seems to be more a matter of luck than technique, lol

Would I be needing new gaitors or do they move out of the way easily enough when removing the rods?

[will.i.am.s2]

Might aswell renew the gaitors as they are only a few quid at some places. I got quoted £51 a track rod by renault with a 10 day wait from france today

Ended up getting lemforders for 15 quid each from a little motor factors i forgot about, result

As above, replace the gaitors, old ones split easy (as I found out last time hehe).

Chips right with the tool, but its a load more cash and I have a similar one to yours which worked fine. All I needed was a ratchet handle and x2 extension bars. Was easy:





Did it in a public car park in a short time and renewed some otehr shit whilst down there ;)

Hard job without correct tools.
