My son broke the driver's side tie rod end on his 98 Stratus. I bought the part and proceeded to remove the broken tie rod end. The broken ball joint section came right out. The part that threads into the rod is frozen tight. I have tried anti-seize lubricant, heat and even pipe wrenches and it won't move.

Is there a trick to removal? How can the entire assembly be removed? Anyone have any suggestions?

Lots of heat on the locknut..........ie cherry red if need be. Then crank on the tie rod end................driver's side?? Counterclockwise!!

Thanks for the info, audiophile.
I have the locknut loose. I can't break loose the tie rod end itself.
