Go to ebay.com and search for:

tie rod end (remover, extractor, press)

This will give you a bunch of possible tools. Ignore the pickle fork 
style, as those work, but they destroy the tie rod end. The simple 
screw press style is what works for me, but the teeter-totter style 
should work just as easily.

There are lots of choices on ebay, but the ones I like all seem to 
come from the UK. They are cheap, but shipping will probably take 
longer than you want. So, with the idea in mind, see if there's a 
place in your town that rents tools; they may have something useful.

I don't have an answer to your one revolution problem, unless you're 
turning it the wrong way. Remember one end has a left hand thread.
