I am looking for some suggestions to remove the tie rod end from the steering connection, the part is attached to a smaller ball joint.
I must also note that the tie rods were changed to Turbo tie rods which shouldn't really make any difference.
I have used PBBlaster, turned the castle nut over and tried to tap the splined end out with a hammer, (not a good idea since that ruins the splines). I have placed a pry bar across the tie rod and hammered on the tie rod.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get the tie rod end to break free?
Help appreciated.

This type (in last reply) are the best cause they don't cut the boot and ruin an otherwise good tie rod end,a clown who did my basic alignment managed to ruin one of mine.
If you can't get them to pop straight off use 2 hammers on the spindle eye at both sides works for me.
Last resort is a butane torch in that area,now that's a 100% solution.
