Heres a solution to get both the tie rod, and the stuck rim off... Get a plasma torche and cut the differential about 1/4th of the way to the "pumpkin" in the middle... Then cut all other support devices...
hahaha wiseass

Try to thread the nut on a little bit and hit the nut. Be careful not to thread it on to where threads can be seen, you will mushroom them. I used to do this all the time with great results

try finding a socket that is a little bit too small for the lug, hammer it on, and unthread the lug. Worked for me......

heat up the hub and then spray it with pb blaster while hot, then hammer out in 4 mins, that sucks azz[&o]
