I'm in the process of replacing the suspension bits on my 93 850. It has the original tie rods, ball joint and end link.

I'm replacing them all (it's in 4 components).

Today I replaced the tie rod end, the end link and the ball joint fairly easily. However, the Inner tie rod (I know people have a fit about it being called that, but that is what IPD calls the part) just won't budge.

(http://www.ipdusa.com/products/5802/113028-inner-tie-rod-for-trw-branded-steering-rack-1993-1997-850-1998-2000-s70-v70-1998-2004-c70f)

So far I've tried a vice grip and a plumbers wrench (monkey wrench for some).

As I understand it, since it would be loosening, I would be going counter clockwise to loosen it. But it wouldn't budge AT all.

I put the rest of the bits on and put the tire on and called it a day. But I want to replace the "inner tie rod" before I finish the rest of the suspension and have it aligned.

Anyone have any tips?
