Any trick to getting the passenger side rod end out of an 03 Discovery. I got the driver side out pretty easy. The passenger side wont move I know it's reverse threaded it wont move either way. Had someone point out that it looked like it was crimped in. I thought that was just for a tool to hold it. I should have just bought the entire arm but it wouldn't have been here on time for a trip. Got a guy looking at it tomorrow, he said we could weld it to a table and see if that'll give some leverage.

It’s probably not coming apart. Guys heat them but I was taught not to heat stuff like that. Short of heat a pipe wrench and a cheater pipe?
