I find the 1.5 sae size wrench works ( I use redneck metric adapters , strips of beer can aluminum, to make up the tiny difference) but the 1.5 snugs up on the inner tie rod pretty well.
great pics and torque spec listings!
oh, if you got your stuff from FCP, its not just a 4 yr warrantee, its lifetime
