Unhappy Crap, it broke

Yeah, so new problem. As I was taking off the tie rod, the nut got stuck on some threads. This happened because I couldn't get the rod to come down (no spreader) so I stuck the nut on the top (so the bolt wouldn't mushroom) and whacked it down. I got the rod loose but now the nut is stuck at the top of the bolt.

So what are my options now? Can I try to sawzall off the nut or bolt on the tie rod without needing to buy and replace a new tie rod?

Man, all I wanted to do was fix my boot before my next driving shift at Pizza Hut (tomorrow) but now it looks like my car is gonna be in my driveway for awhile.

Anyone out there mind if I call them and talk about this?
