I am trying to replace my right tie rod and the tie rod ends are stuck in place.

using a tool to clamp aound the stterng arm and push on the tie rod end damaged the threaded portion. Also, I dont want to use a tie rod seaparator (the tool that looks kinda like a pitch fork).

All suggestions to loosen/unstuck the tie rod from the pitman arm and the outer wheel carrier are welcome.

Thanks.
