Usually the nut is undone and when you have it clear of the nylon grip part ... then you give the cast fitting a whack with a hammer, to release the grip of the tape.

Tighten it up again then undo the nut ... or ... place a jack under the tie rod and add some weight to it ... Don't lift it ... just enough to give the taper some grip, so you can undo the nut.
