Is ther any trick in separating the outer tie rod end from the inner tie rod?

I have loosened nut 140 but am unable to get the inner tie rod 40 to budge in the outer tie rod 60 (see attachment please for picture).

Besides penetrating oil, is applying heat to the outer tie rod the only solution?

Thank you.
