Tie-Rod End Removal
I am changing my right outer tie-rod end. i got the ball joint out, but i cant get that nut loosened to get the tie-rod off, is there any special tool i can use to loosen this nut, i tried heating it up, greasing it up, but still nothin. its on a 94 civic dx coupe.

did you take the cotter pin out?
there is no special tool.. it's a 17mm deep socket or wrench if I remember correctly.
What I did on my friend's eg.. was just put the wrench on it.. and I sat down and kicked the wrench real hard and it cracked the castle nut. Ghetto, yes.. but it worked for me

i think you are a bit mixed up... this isn't a tie rod, it is a lower control arm.
i'm also confused as to how you got the ball joint out without removing the castilated nut first?
pics would help me, i'm half retarded.

you need 2 wrenches one to hold the end of the rack (you will see little notches for the wrnech to go) and one to put on the nut
just get a longer wrench ie longer more torque that shoudl do it
a long wrench or pipe on the end shall do it.
