What you may find is the original inner track rod end may have no hexaganal part to the end (Mapco should have this hex on it) so it will need a tool that will grip with teeth to enable a suitable grip in the part that screws into the rack rod. DO NOT HEAT UP THIS PART AS IT IS AFFIXED TO THE TOOTHED ROD AND HAS SEALS WHICH WILL BE DESTROYED AND RENDER THE RACK NEEDING FULL REMOVAL TO SORT OUT.Just degrease the inner track end once you have removed the steering bellows. Look for a good deal on new bellows as it would be a shame not to complete this task in full.
