Default tried everything...tie rod ends... how to get tie rod off

i have just tried everything that I could think of and that everyone has recommended and i still could not get the tie rod shaft out. I guess i will have to order new tie rods... how do i get the tie rods off and the boot thing covering part of the tie rod ends.

i already have the tie rods dangling as i got all those bolts out.

thanks

Default If talking about the outer tie rod. I use this on frozen ones

Works most of the time. Sometimes alittle heat helps.<ul><li><a href="http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&amp;vertical=TOOL&am p;pid=00901129000">http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&amp;vertical=TOOL&am p;pid=00901129000</a</li></ul>
