i was removing my track rod end and i managed to get the nut of the bottom
but when i tried to knock it up it wouldn't move
so i got the blow torch on it then used a hammer to try to hit it out it wouldent move
so i cut the whole thing off just below the ball joint heated it again and tried to knock out from the top
it doesn't want to move 
anyone had this problem or any ideas how to get it out

im thinking of drilling it out
would it be easier to try to drill the whole thing out or drill a smaller hole through the middle and try to knock it out

Got a special tool here at vauxhall. I was banging away with a hammer for ages until one of the techs. came over. Its like a clamp that goes over it. Then you wack and airgun on it. POP!
