For Heim nut and bolt.....try soaking with PB Blaster (rust loosener....) and then the longest 6 point wrenches you have or sockets and ratchet handles/breaker bars. Watch the knuckles!!!!

For the tie rod end, soak with some PB Blaster, or I guess the suggested diesel fuel, then use tried and trued double hammer thing..... LARGE hammer held on one side (or large mass of steel something or other) and BIG hammer on other side to apply sharp blows to the tie rod end..... Shock should loosen this tapered fitting.....sometimes it takes several hammer strikes.

But it is important to back up the spindle with another large hammer or maul.....just wailing on it with a single hammer won't likely do any good.....other than deforming metal....!

Hammer on!!!!
