After doing my brakes over the weekend I was driving home and my tire fell off of the car doing about 45mph not a fun thing... took it back over to my father in laws house and figured out the outer tie rod was the culprit went and picked up a new tie rod and took everything apart and the jam nut would not budge. Looked up tricks on here tried them all spent 2 days trying to get it off wouldn't budge was ready to just give up and then I thought why don't I just take the inner tie rod out and try and break the outer loose when it is out. Tries it and still nothing so I said screw it and gave up and just ordered a new inner tie rod should be here tomorrow hopefully it goes back together quick then.
My word of wisdom spend the extra money get the inner and outer and don't even bother trying to break that lose its way easier to just do it all.

Jeeze imagine if you drive on the freeway and the tire fell off? Is this a common problem for our EF too?

I have no clue. When I bought the car it was in rough shape body wise it ran and got me from home to work and it was supposed to be a temporary car but its been almost a year now I want to keep it I think and restore it cause in Wisconsin it is a "classic " car in the DMV 's eyes and you don't see many nice old cars that are Honda 's or imports for that matter

You need a really long wrench and a soccer player friend to kick the **** out of the wrench to break it loose
