If you have pointy enough torch that allows you to concentrate the heat in one location. Mine is more of swirl soldering flame, so not as useful for that.

My first hit with heat I find old candle and jam it into the hot metal, it wicks into the threads and helps makes them less stuck. Works most of the time.

Thanks for the tips... went and bought a torch and PB blaster, and the outer tie rod is as frozen as ever. Going to take it to the dealer... please pray for me... LOL
