Peter - I was also unsuccessful. In the case of the 99 Regal the inner tie rod end is staked to the steering rack and it would be very difficult to get rid of those stakes with the rack in place. The stakes amount to a collar on the tie rod end that is flattened into respective flats on the steering rack - the collar is pretty beefy so it would take some effort to undo the stakes.
There are no flats on the OE part so the special wrench would not work either, and there is not enough room to get at the thing with the rack in place. None of the local parts stores rent the special tool, not that it would help.

MY story....
1990 Olds Silhouette (mini van) with 118 K miles. The passenger inner tie rod end had a lot of play... you could grab it and move it in and out.
