Help with stuck tie rod bolt

[Ziondogg]

Any suggestions on removing this? The nut was rusty and stripped so I cut it right below the mount. I thought I would be able just to knock it through but it's not budging. I've tried heat and vice grips and nothing.

Can you get a 6 point socket or wrench on the bottom of the bolt? Otherwise, hammer on it, but there doesn’t look to be a lot of room.

Haven't tried a socket but it would need to be beat on it and your right there's no room.

That is a tapered seat. You pound on the top and it just balloons the bolt.

You're going to have to crack/cut that nut off and use:

And it's going to come out like a bullet.

All I have to say is there's a lot of folks not looking at the same pics I am.
OP, You are going to have to stack up something to push down on the top of that pin with a prybar against the frame while you smack the side of the trackbar mount rounded end with a small hammer and vibrate it out.

Don't suppose there's room for a small air chisel with a pointed tip? Or a drift tip?

I'm still trying to figure out why he cut off the only part that makes it easy to remove? All you have to do is take the axle end out front, set that on a floor jack. At the other end, lay a socket under the mount and trap it next to the pin. Jack up, put some tension on it, smack the mount with a small hammer and it pops the pin right out.

In case anyone is wondering why I keep saying small hammer is because I'm weary of seeing shit like this. Absolutely no reason for this to ever happen.
