My inner and outer tie rods are completely shot. I'm changing them right now so i can get an allignement tomarow becuase im havnig to rush back up to school tomarow afternoon which is about 300 miles from here.


The problem is on the driver side the outer tie rod end bottom nut came loose but it will not come off now. Any suggestions on how i can get it to come out?
 
my suggestion is to get something to pry down on the nut and then try to take the it off hope that helps
 
Prying on the tie rod end and using an impact almost always will work. If you don't have an impact, it will be more difficult to perform but should be attainable.

Just don't screw up the threads or you will be using a hot wrench to get it off.

Good Luck
 
it appears that the nut is stripped. so i cut the tie rod bolt and then im going to use a nut crusher and then use some vice girps and try to turn it out.... adn if all else fails, i could drill out the bolt and then rethread it.
