Default Tie-Rod End Removal Help

I spent awhile trying to remove the tie-rod ends and couldnt seem to get them off. I was wondering if you guys had any tips or tricks that would help with the removal.

Got the PB Blaster and it worked very well. Spent a few hours last night trying to get one off and got both done in about an hour today. Thanks for the help. You think I need to get an alignment done after changing them?
