Super Stuck Tie Rod End

i’m doing the djm lowering kit rn and i’m trying to replace my old tie rod end, but the things stuck as a mug i been trying for bout an hour or two i’ve applied lots of pb blaster i’ve used heat the bastard won’t break loose any tips?

 

Try using a pickle fork? A bigger hammer? If you"re trying to knock it loose with a hammer maybe try putting something solid under it to get better shock value from the hammer impact.

 

Mine were extremely stuck as well. Ended up renting one of these from autozone https://www.autozone.com/test-scan-...tools-heavy-duty-pitman-arm-puller/209523_0_0
Have to remove the clamp bolts for this one to fit, I used a metal hose clamp to hold the arms together and was able to pop the rod end out.

 

Being a tie rod.. what is actually stuck- the stud or the bit threaded into the inner TRE ?

 

When people say they've applied heat, it usually a small map torch. You need oxy/acetylene type of heat some times.
