#1 Where'd you get that long handled vice grip? #2 Why 'copper' anti-seize as opposed to regular silver anti seize? You didn't mention that tool in the description section. Otherwise, great video!

1:57 see old tie rods are MOOG? If yours 1st time changing it, it’s not as easy. Rent Tie-rod tool 57346 from Autozone. Trust me…. Pipe wrench not gonna help. GM put red-permanent loctite on those.
