They were a pain. I bought the $7 ones at Checker's Auto Parts.

I didn't have the metal straps to tighten mine, they came with plastic tie wraps. And they work great and look like they're holding up after a full year. I used a screwdriver in one hand and a pair of needlenose pliers in the other to tighten the crap out of them. The whole job took me about 4.5 hours including the fact it was my first time and I went really slow removing the tie rod ends. And I cleaned them nicely and used a sharpie marker.

I used Matt's instructions. I believe we chatted about this a lot last year or he posted a write up. But anyway, Thanks Matt B.
