Outter Tie Rod Troubles! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am doing the front suspension over and I was unable to remove the outer tie rod on the drivers side. Passenger side came out easy, but the drivers side is frozen in the spindle. I finally cut the outer rod off, but now the hole where the tie rod connects to is filled with steel. I was able the drill about 1/4" hole through it but It ate all my drill bits up. Anyone have any suggestions on cleaning the rest of this out? Any special drill bit that will clean this out easily?

Thanks
Rick
