5 lug conversion problem is beginning to irritate me

Hmmm, well, I'm just a little frustrated because one, I can get the hubs off the front. It's getting really irritating. Originally I was gonna take the whole front hub and brake assembly as one big heavy piece, but I couldn't get the tie rod end link pulled off (I also used a 2-jaw puller illustrated in the manual). Any ideas? Anyway, I think I'm just venting right now. Well shoot me solutions if you have them. If not these bad boys, along with the car it's on is goin to the junk yard. Thanks.

Pickle fork.. But you'll probably thrash the dustboots that way. If the puller isn't working, it's your best bet.

I already cut the dust boost off, i'm not keeping the rack and pinion off the car so it doesn't matter to me.
