Can you take the entire inner and outer tie rod out without separating them. Mine is stuck the outer tie rod won't unscrew it came out 3/4 of the way and now it's completely stuck.

Stupid question but are you sure you do not have the lock nut against the tierod end?


Get the tool first to remove the inner tie rod. It is probably a generic vw one but not sure. ask Oreilly. Then if the socket is not long enough, hack saw the inner tie rod end in half. Of course i would use a cut off tool.
