Yeah I actualy couldn't tell whether we were talking about the nut on the tie rod end to the spindle or the inner tie rod end threaded end. Just had to share that story though- it literally happened yesterday morning and I helped my friend do the emergency recovery lets-try-to-drive-it-to-the-shop thing.
In my experience you can usually get the nut off the spindle end without much heartache, and then you have to fight the inner nut with two wrenches or something similar. A pickle fork (tie rod/ball joint separator) makes poppoing these apart SO much easier, as well.

If anyone wants the name of the shop that did this, email me.
