I have been doing some suspension work to my is300, replacing the balljoints and outer tie rods. I successfully replaced the outer tie rod on the passenger side by watching this guys video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpI6J_97VCc . Notice the direction the turned the wrench to remove the tie rod. Would it be the same direction for he driver side? Or reversed?
Because my driver side is being a *****!

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

You will be unloosening the tie rod by rotating left. You are in NC so I assume it snows there and may have some surface rust so I would suggest trying some sort of penetrating spray to soak the tie rod. If that doesnt work then you may need to heat it up and freeze it a few times. I have used a plumbers torch to heat it and then used some computer canned air, turn it upside down and freeze the tie rod. Do this a few times and you should be able to pop it right off.
