im replacing my left inner and outer tie rods and ran into some problems.
the bolt for the outer tie rod broke and the tie rod won't come out and i can't seem to unscrew the inner tie rod. i replaced my right side inner tie rod b4 and replaced both inner and outer for a friends accord. here are pics of the bolt and where im at so far lol:

well i called my brother and he told me to hit the side of where the tie rod is connected to the wheel (pic below) instead of hitting the outer tie rod itself and it popped out after a couple hits and i screwed out the inner tie rod with a channel lock and some elbow grease. gotta get an alignment first thing in the morning.
