<VV> Toe adjustment sleeves stuck

[Rick Norris]

I have one of those tools you never heard of and it is handy but, after I 
get thru with the rods you don't need any tools to turn them. I have also 
used the old"screw driver in the slot" deal. I just don't like to bugger up 
the tie rods if I don't have to.
