But you can do it by unscrewing the track rod at the hub end though i presume?

HI

I'm finally going to get round to replacing the track rod boots on the left and right hand side of the car, as well as replacing the left side track-rod. However, I'm confused about the tool I need to get the track rods off- some kind of hex? can anyone give me more information, photos etc?

Cheers
Larry
