Just did this today, the tie rod end came off easy with the tool shown above, lower round nut with 4 cutouts came off somewhat easily with Mapp heat and a 14" pipe wrench. Tomorrow we will be going after the ball joint/strut. Nut came off easily, bolt punched through easily, does not want to budge from the strut with a pickle fork. Will try Mapp heat tomorrow.
