Default now on to the tie rod

i got the ball joint off and now i need to remove the tie rod. there is not much space to work with and i am having difficulty backing out the bolt that holds the tie rod end in place. any suggestions would be appreciated. i am able to wiggle the bolt wich means it is not rusted in place.
