On occasion, the tie rod end will be stuck onto the tie rod due to years of muck, dirt, and rust. In these cases a torch is required to heat the tie rod end in order to get it free. I'd recommend you test how stuck the tie rod is by seeing if it will turn BEFORE you pop the ball joint loose. This way, if you think you're not going to be able to free the tie rod end, you won't find yourself in a pickle, and can take it to a mechanic for help.
I wouldn't expect this to be the case, but it's happened to me a few times.
