Citroen DS3 - Inner tie rod won't budge help!!!! - Lee182

Hi all,

I've been trying all day to undo the inner tie rod but it's not moving.

It is one of those terrible design ones where its just round with no flat to put a tool on.

I've had a big pair of stilsons on it but it just laughed at me.

I was thinking of getting this ratchet type clamp but I doubt that will work either it's stuck in solid.

Any ideas please guys??

Ta.
