as far as the tie rods nuts, they have a normal and a reversed thread.

if you are refering to the tie rod end nuts free spinning, you will need to slide a 14mm wrench inbetween the rubber boot and and grab ahold of the shank so keet the tie rod end from spinning

Any other ideas on removing the ball joints away from the spindles. I am still having issues

Beat on the spindle itself while prying the aarm away from it. Don't beat on the arm, just beat the spindle where the ball joint goes through.

get a ball joint breaker. it looks like a fork with 2 prongs. the prongs are skinny at the end and taper bigger at the end. put that inbetween the balljoint and spindle and smack the end with a hammer until the ball joints break loose.

I remove the tops first as they pop right off since no weight is really on them.

Then I spin the spindle around out of the way and insert a old 3/8" extesnion into the hole. Back the castle nut off with a few rounds of threads left. This hold the small end of extension in place while you tap the other with a hammer.

I found this works very well and usually knocks it off the taper in 2-3 hits. Be SURE to use a bad/cheap ext. as the hammer will deform the ends.
