For Tie Rod removal you could try "shocking" the taper. A couple hard whacks on the side of the spindle arm usually do the trick. I've used this method to great success. Works on tie rods and ball joints w/o damage to boots or threads. I would thread the nut on a bit to catch the part as it pops out.
Hope this helps.
