Went to get a wheel alignment today as tyre is wearing quick on one edge and the car pulls to the left

Went for a hunter option

But the front tie rods adjustment has seized, even with heat had no movement!
Going to have to replace them!

Anyone else had this issue?

Prior to an aligment visit, I removed them from the car and managed to free them up using a vice + heat + kroil. Just cant seem to get the leverage from underneath the car on axle stands.

Decided to get them replaced as not overly expensive
About £100 all in I hope
