For the next time you do this, the way to remove tie rod ends is to rememeber that they are a tapered stud. By striking the arm through which the tapered stud passes at a right angle to the stud with a LARGE hammer, you will momentarily shrink the hole, which will pop the stud loose. You do this after removing the nut, of course.

This is hard to describe. Just imagine a snow cone. If you squeeze the cone, the ice will come out the top. By striking the side perpendicular to the direction of the tapered stud, you will force the stud out.

Failing the hammer method, you can buy a tie rod end tool that looks like a pickle fork and is typically referred to a as a pickle fork. After removing the nut, you put the pickle fork between the tie rod end and the member through which it passes.

Good luck,
