I already broke the Bratton's Tie Rod End socket adapter tool. What I got is an end plug that will turn out about 1/4 of a turn and then just dead stops. It HAS to be the threads that are jacked-up. I can turn it back and forth...but, again, no more than 1/4 turn total of travel. I already bent a nice Snap-on screwdriver before I got the Bratton's tool.
