three nuts on strut tops, balljoint and tierod at the bottom and then just the brakes, either undo hose at pipe or caliper end.
What are you having issues with?

Loosen the castle nut that holds the tierod end to the strut steering arm so that it still covers the end of the tierod thread (or if you don't care about the tierod end then take the nut right off).
Now get a FBH (f-ing big hammer) and belt the steering arm on the end so you hit it at 90 degrees to the tierod end that passes through the arm. Keep hitting it really hard until the tierod pops free from the steering arm.

To remove tie rod ends you use a hammer.
Remove the nut & cotter pin. * Use a pickle fork and hammer or * Use a rod-end puller or * Use prybar and hammer on the knuckle never hammer on the tie rod itself

Oh yeah, try not to damage anything else while wielding the FBH!

Supercheap
