Help, I've been trying to remove my outer tie rod ends and i cannot seem to get the pinch bolt out as it's seized solid. Does anyone have any suggestion on what to do? I've tried soaking in 3in1 oil, WD hitting it with a 4lb hammer and the ****** thing won't budge:wtf:
 
If there rusted in you have to keep hitting it or remove the hole unit and have it pressed out
 
I had to use heat.
I've also before now, ground the head off the bolt. Then keep putting washers and nuts on to pull the bolt the wrong way.
