Undo the nut but leave it on the tie rod end, grab a big hammer and give the arm it
is bolted into a solid hit on the end that faces towards the rear of the van, and the tie rod
end will pop up.
What happens is when you hit the arm it compresses slightly and because it is a taper
it pops the tie rod end out.

I tried that but ended up buying a puller for $80, The fork stuffed up and pullers from super cheap broke, Ive used the puller 4 times now but it saved me the frustration Its only bout 5 inches long but did the job easy
