well i called my brother and he told me to hit the side of where the tie rod is connected to the wheel (pic below) instead of hitting the outer tie rod itself and it popped out after a couple hits and i screwed out the inner tie rod with a channel lock and some elbow grease. gotta get an alignment first thing in the morning.
