piece of #@$% tie rods

i just recieved my inner tie rods and come to find out that the ball joint on them dont even move, looks like when they painted the rod it got in the joint, i cant budge the joint, i even stepped of the dang thing and its almost as if its 1 solid peice.... any ideas on how i can get the joints unstuck??
