Turbo tie rod installation tool

Help.

Please.

My Turbo tie rods come Thursday and I don't have the tool required to install them. It is NLA.



Anyone have one they can loan/rent me. I'll pay for shipping, or if you are local I'll buy you beer!

Try a bicycle shop for a large thin wrench like that.

Anyone know the size of this thing? My Turbo tie rods have not come yet so i can't measure them to try to find/fabricate a tool that will do what this tool does. Thanks.

You're welcome to borrow mine. I'm in Portland, or I'll bet John Walker would let you use his for a deposit.

Bike shop. It's a Headset wrench. 32mm is the size. Made by Park Tool.

This one is good because it's 32mm on one end (tie rods) and 15mm on the other (clutch cable):
Park Tool Co. » HCW-6 : Headset Wrench : Headset

Cost is about $15. Works like a charm.
