Stuck tie rod end - help?

[Cliff Hansen <chansen@exis.net>]

The tapered bolt just won't pop out of the link.

My pickle fork end is now mushroomed.  I heated it with
a torch, not enough to glow 'cause I don't want to ruin
the link, but the grease was smoking.  I doused it with
WD40 and its sitting now, sulking.  I'll go get some of that
PB Blaster that seems to have a good reputation and
pound on my pickle fork some more.

Any better ideas?  Thanks.
