ABSTRACT:
A tie rod loosening tool for use with a tie rod assembly, the tie rod assembly having an outer tie rod, an inner tie rod, and a threaded adjustment sleeve extending from the inner tie rod and being received within the outer tie rod. An elongated tool member is provided upon removal of a standard threaded bolt which secures the outer tie rod to the adjustment sleeve during normal operation. The tool member has a first externally threaded end for threadably engaging within an aperture in the outer tie rod. The elongated tool member has a second end which defines a tool bit which may be received within a power tool. The power tool is activated to forcibly loosen, by vibration or jarring, the inner and outer tie rods from the threaded adjustment sleeve and overcomes corrosive buildup between the tie rods and the adjustment sleeve.
