This suggestion is what did the trick for me. I sprayed a liberal amount of penentrant on the bolt and spent a while working on other things. Raised the floor jack up so that the pad was touching the bottom of the tie rod end, then another pump or two. Used a 19mm socket on a breaker bar to turn the nut ever so slightly to the tighten side, then a quick snap in the other direction. That loosened it up some. Used the impact gun to zing the nuts the rest of the way off. Didn't even need to use a pickle fork to separate the rod end from the spindle. Just pushed it right out with my finger.

You guys rock! Thanks!
