Hello guys,

I bought some Lemfoerder tie rod ends to replace the originals, but where the originals had the 5mm Allen wrench hole, the new ones seem to just have a dimple in the center. Now my tie rod ends are on the car and I have no way to tighten them, unless the holes are just filled in with something. I was going to check that idea but I an out of daylight. Has anyone else installed these, and if so, how did you manage to tighten them?
