if you're talking the tie rod end, where it connects to the arm on the hub 
carrier, you need to remove the cotter pin and lower nut (you probably did 
that already). then you need to use a pitman arm puller on it. you just cant 
get enough good solid force to remove that thing without one. you could use 
a pickle fork, but you tear the crap out of the grease boot when you do 
that.
