Lemforder tie rods siezed

I just bought a pair of these:

The end with the lock nut threads in and out just fine on both, but the end with the clamp doesn't budge for anything, even if you completely remove the clamp. Anyone have a suggestion before they go in the trash? Used to be such a good brand.

I don’t have a repair suggestion, but if they were purchased from Pelican Parts, I think there is a guarantee.

Heat and penetrating oil.

They're pretty mangled at this point, so I'm not sure they'll take them back. If they won't then I guess I'll just keep the ends that do come off and toss the rest.

Try to save the boots off the ones that may get tossed.
