Tie rod replacement tool question

[warup89]

Hey guys, I know I asked in on another thread but I need an answer soon since im going to buy some tools today and my nearest hardware store...which is not so near.

So, I recently bought a set of inner/outer Tie rods. So far by reading this tut, it seems fairly easy although I got one concern. For the inner tie rod, the edge of the side that connects to the car, is a huge square.

I read, a modified crow's foot wrench is used for this, but I dont plan to keep this tool since I wont be using it much afterwards. What else could I use instead?

Is there another alternative to the crowfoot wrench?

I use channel locks or visegrips to get the inners out.
