Sorry for adding to such an old post. I've sourced the parts I need to do some front end work. I picked up the whole streering assembly from the salvage yard. The inner tie rods thread into the steering rack. I used a small pipe wrench to remove the inner tie rods from the rack. I measured the flat sides of the inner tie rod to be 1 1/4 inches - 32 mm. You could use those size wrenches to remove the inner tie rod. Remember, "right tight, left loose". Hope this helps.
