I just got my 2nd replacement tie rod to replace.

What's the proper tool to use to remove (remember there's a bur to prevent unscrewing) the tie rod?
Last time, I reluctantly used two pipe wrenches, one on the tie rod, one on the smaller diameter (not going to rub any seals) portion of the rack.
I wanted to know if there is a specific tool.
There aren't any flat surfaces, so I assumed it would be something like an "infinite wrench" - one of those rubber strap wrenches or a monkey wrench.
