Looking to buy an inner tie rod removal set found one it looks like it would work but it says not for Saginaw type racks

If you send Detroit Axle a Message addressing your question... they will be able to explain any distinctions related to the Delphi-Saginaw Rack and Pinion Design variations. They re-manufacture Power Steering Units back to better than factory New and have components for the Trailblazer and Envoy SUVs for sale on Amazon. I have used their Rack and Pinion Re-Man Units and they are worth every single Penny for the performance and reliabilty of their work::

for anyone who might be in the same situation., I just rented the Powerbuilt Tie rod tool- Kit number 85, used the 1 7/16" adapter , and it worked like a charm. from opening the box to having the old tie rod out and on the floor was maybe 2 minutes. now on to the next project...which appears to be control arm bushings
