I am install a set of Moog outer tie rod ends on my s14, I can't seen to get the lock nut loose, is there some trick to it, I put pentrating spray twice in the last two days. Is the nut threaded the other direction?

I don't have a 22mm wrench so I am using two creset wrenches, one on the nut and one on the inner tie rod end, this should be an easy job.

I would appreciate any advice,

thanks

you are going to strip it with 2 cresent wrenches. I believe they are only 21mm but I could be wrong. You can try a little bit of heat. Keep blasting it with pentrating spray and get the proper tools, borrow then from a friend or neighbor. If worse comes to worse you might have to replace the inners too and just take the inner and outers out at the same time or take then to a shop and have then pull then apart. Make sure you get an aligment after you replace then too.
