Seized tie rods
I live in the rust belt (wisc) and am trying to align a customers 2021 x5 but the outer tie rods are seized to the inners. Normally I would super heat the lock nut and I’ve seen way worst rust with success, but with the aluminum outers I don’t want to heat them too much. Any ideas outside of replacing?

my shop had the really heat the hell out of them on one side to get the car aligned. no joke he spent close to 45mins on that one side.
I plan to have the whole tie rod replaced shortly since it wasn't too expensive ($225)
