if you want to take the rack out i would sugguest remove the boot on the inner tie rod and loosen the nut holding it in then put the castle nut back on the outer tie rod a few threads in and if hit just right when a rubber mallet or so it should pop it off

Burn it? Your trying to get the tie rod off the hub? Get a tie rod seperator. You can rent it from Autozone
