Default Steering stabilizer trac bar question

Is there threads in the tie rod where the bolt goes through for the steering stabilizer. Was trying to get it out this weekend with no luck. I though it may be threaded but everyone else I asked says no.

I tried heat & cooling for like 20 mins, brass hammer, even tried cutting the bolt & drilling it out. (after a few people told me it isn't threaded) Busted my drill bits...

Im about to just buy a new tie rod all together... UGH!!!!!!!!!

*Edit- Meant tie rod in title...

Mine wasnt. There is a bolt on the back side of the steering stabalizer bracket. Do you have it jacked up to take the pressure off?

Good thinking. I use a 2 jaw puller everytime I do one.Also use some MAP gas.It burns 500 degrees hotter then propane.
