I believe what youre lookin for is called a pickle fork, you can rent or maybe just buy relatively cheaply... it just works like a wedge that you hammer in between the tie rod end or ball joint to remove it from the a arm, and it pops loose (i'm only assuming this is what you're talking about?)

yeah, i guess i didn't notice where it said "inner" in the title, haha. anyway, you kinda clarified what i was talking about. I'm just used to working on a truck where it is rare to get away w/hitting it on the bottom of the t/r end to break it free, 9x out of 10 you just mushroom the threaded end, then have to go and grind that off, just to end up using the right tool anyway . But i guess our cars are a bit easier than all that!
