Remove the nuts, strike the perch with a 3 or 4# hammer where the link is bolted and the tapered pin should pop out. Do the same with the shock arm, backing it up on an anvil and it should pop out also.

If you don't plan on reusing them, a tie rod end removal tool (aka: pickle fork) will make easy work of it.
If you want to reuse them, you'll need a tie rod end removal press tool.

I second the Pickle Fork, on a Air Hammer.
