IH 140 tie rods

I have a 140 hi-crop that I need to widen the stance. It was at 48" and I need to go to 68". I got the rear done and the front was moving along well until I tried to slide the tie rod out of the tube. They are rusted together good. I got them off and removed the inner tie rod then filled the tube with PB blaster. I'll let them stand up overnight and try again tomorrow to separate them. I have a feeling this ain't gonna work so I'm asking for suggestions on what I can try next. I thought about putting them back on, heating them and using a pipe wrench to try to twist it loose. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

If they're rusted that badly, it will take months/years/never for penetrating lube to work.

You need to heat them.
