Rear Tierod nuts

[DBF]

A good impact gun (450 ftlbs +) will always do the trick.  As others have
suggested, try forcing the top of the joint down into the tapered socket to
hold the shaft steady.  Then hit the nut with the gun.  It will come off if
there is no rust or pieces of the cotter pin 'blocking' it's way.  Good
luck.
