Maybe it's just me but it never fails that at least one of my tie rod ends becomes seized to the point where I destroy something trying to loosen it up. Please share your secrets....

Vise grips under the top of the boot (close to a arm)

Cool. What about breaking loose the lock nuts (tie rod and tie rod end). I always assume I'm turning them the wrong direction but I think I got that down by now. I never fails though that at least one side or the other won't release causing me to adjust toe by removing the whole dang tie rod assembly.
