Center drag link - Jam nut standard or reversed?

[Egz]

Trying to remove the ends on the drag link for refurbishment, but I can't get the jam nuts to budge. Not sure if seized, or reversed thread.

Thanks!

One end is CW, other CCW, into the opposing rod ends, otherwise it’s not possible to change toe by rotating the center link thus changing its effective length. The jam nut is probably jammed. (Sorry.)

Have you found a source for new ends for the drag link? I have one that is just starting to have some play and I'd rather not have to buy the whole new assembly if I don't have to.

On these old cars I have found heat is your friend. A propane torch applied to the jam nut may well bust it loose.

In the 80s,. I used to heat up the centrr link nuts and ends full red to free up on a 311 usually only got a quarter turn then seized
