probably galvanic corrosion on the threads.. tommy583 is having the same issue on another thread with a caliper bolt!

always coat the threads with copper grease where you have steel to ally it save a lot of pain and swearing.

i just changed out the steering rack on my 986 and the 'push in' connectors,, yes you've got it steel into ally !! grrrr.. I ended up using the dremel to cut out the old steering rack female to get the push in connector out.

if you have replacement track rod ends, try getting some heat on it, then soak in release oil, leave for 15 mins, rinse and repeat.. or you could cut a groove down the side of the sleeve with a dremel or grinding wheel and either get release oil in there or cut away the tie rod ends without dmagaing the thread.
