As you have no power tools
I would push the tierod taper back up and then cut vertically down through the nut
and tierod stud with a hacksaw

Subject: [Peugeot-L] Separating a Tie-rod end - how hard should this be?
Looking for some words of advice on this.
It's a week before the NW Peugeot meet, and I figure I really ought to
replace the Right-hand side Tie rod end as it is quite loose. Problem
is, it seems fused in place. One weird thing, there was two nuts
holding it on; the top one came off easily, the bottom one is stripped
and turns (it is quite loose) but won't come right off. I have been
whacking away at it with a ball-joint separator & soaking it in WD 40,
with zero results. There is enough clearance under the nut for the
tie-rod end to come free for the arm. The car has 115,000km (72,000
miles) so maybe this is the original one? I haven't got a welding
torch, but perhaps could heat things up with a propane torch, is that a
good idea? Or, perhaps this is beyond hand tools and needs to go to a
shop. Any other ideas?
Cheers,
