I saw a trick on Two Guy's Garage . It actually worked the next time I had a chance to use it.. Two large bal -peen hammers. Lossen the nut a few turns ,strike the body holding the tie rod threaded end from two oposing directions simotaniously . It spit the tapered end out like magic. It didn't touch the rubber dust seal a bit. If a little pressure could be appied to the tapered end in the removal direction when striking would help. Iif the threaded end is down and the tapered end is suposed to go upwards, a bottle jack underneath appling some pressure couldn't hurt.
