How to separate the tie rod from the spindle?

[delling3]

Anyone got a suggestion for how to get the damn tie-rod end to separate from the spindle? I am in the middle of tearing my front end down. I am replacing my control arms, need to disconnect the spindle. I have the nut off, and I have beat the damn thing with a 2-pound ball peen hammer to no effect.

Penetrating oil, torch, bigger hammer, pitman arm puller to press it out, or any combination of all the tools. Hit the spindle where it goes through to try to loosen it up.

Loosen the nut till even at top threads
Strike with one blow with a mighty thor hammer

Broke a puller. Whacked with a bigger hammer and fell right out.

When in doubt, get a bigger hammer.

Would you prepared if gravity reversed itself? The only thing I can't figure out is how to keep the change in my pockets. I've got it. Nudity.

I own 2 dvds. Real genius and the original redbull rampage. Real genius has always been my favorite movie. ITs no fun to watch with me as I say all the lines.
