Yep, it has come down to this. Brute force.
Was fixing the tie rod on my 98 Accord V-6 yesterday. For the life of me, I can't get the retaining nut and outer tie rod off. They look rusted and probably seized in too. I tried wrenching, heating, cursing...what have you, it just won't budge.
So I am looking at these 3 models here: (has to be cordless, and includes battery & charger)

The tie rod looks like a hardened piece of metal, so I am concerned if these will do the job of cutting it off. Any recommended grinding wheel for cutting metal?
