Need help getting this tie rod out, if I'm correct do you not just unbolt the one but and it should spin out? I'm been pounding on it for almost an hour now, and won't budge, I tried heating it and rust check..

You should have cracked the inner rie rod from the outer tie rod end when the outer was still bolted to the knuckle. Bolt the outer back into the knuckle, crack it free, and the unbolt the outer and spin it off. Its most likely siezed on there, so youll need the leverage

Just replace the whole thing - the inner and outer tie rods as a unit. The inner will unscrew from the steering rack. I had a similar situation on my e90. It was actually pretty easy to do.
