I second what Tim has written for #3 with the pickle fork. One side
note though. The pickle fork that I bought was actually not wide
enough to fit and I had to use a grinder to "widen" the opening by
taking off some material from the inside of the fork tines. Your
mileage may vary but the fork I bought was pretty inexpensive.

#3 Use a pickle fork. Also available at most auto parts stores. This
tool wedges between the knuckle and the tie rod end. It will destroy
the boot on the tie rod end resulting in replacement of the tie rod
end. Use this tool if you are going to replace the part anyway. This
tool is under $10 and I do own one of these. I mainly use it separating
ball joints but it does work well foot tie rod as well.
Good luck-
