Loosened the jam nut, separated the tie rod end from the steering knuckle, but cannot get the tie rod end to rotate off the tie rod. It's frozen on. Any suggetions?

Same problem with my PT Cruiser. I had to take it in to a shop where they used a torch to heat the part up to white hot and then it would slowly turn off with some force. We then cleaned the bolt with a cutter and installed a new quality part. Took about 40 min. The crap OEM part exposed the part to moisture/salt etc.

I wouldn't trust that part after it was heated to that degree.
