Hey guys... I've got a bit of a predicament that I could use some help with. I had to rebuild the front end on my truck this week because everything was beyond shot. I got the new balljoints, idler arm, pitman arm, and 3 tie rods in. The outer tie rod on the driver side is stuck in the adjusting sleeve....presumably with rust.

Normally I'd just buy a new adjusting sleeve but my truck is lifted and has extra long, heavy duty sleeves on it. If I had to buy another it would be costly and take a few days to get it here. I got the jamb nut loose but the rod end won't turn. I penetrated it with WD-40, tried heating it with a propane torch which I know doesn't get very hot, and then I even went as far as burning some heavy welds onto the tie rod to heat it up. The thing still won't budge.

Any suggestions on how to get this thing loose?? My only other guesses right now are my map gas torch which I need to get back from my brother in law this weekend, or an oxy/acetlyn torch to really get the adjusting sleeve red hot.
