Tommy, I'm in the middle of a kingpin/tierod end project. To remove the threaded ends of the tie rod/drag link I didn't invent a tool but found something that worked great.

Laying on the workbench next to the vice, a few scrap pieces of 1/8th flat stock was just waiting for a job. After cleaning the tie rod end slots one of the small pieces of scrap was an exact fit, it fit the full length and depth of the screwdriver slot. Add a 10" crescent to the mix and it was an easy job to remove the ends.
