Read through the below to threads and appears I just need to get a spanner to remove the nut and disconnect the steering linkage.

Here is the left side and looks to have the only side which has slots so a wrench can fit on the shaft. There is very little room for an open end wrench and most of mine are a bit to wide. Is this the correct side to remove first?
This pic is from the right side and has the large spanner nut. It's my understanding from the previous post to remove this nut and everything will be pulled out from this end?
From other threads, another issue is getting the right side linkage off. I have a steering knuckle separator, tuning fork type. Do you think I can remove the tie rod end at the joint with this method and still be able to rebuild the cylinder? Plan to pickup the parts to repair tomorrow (CAT part number 178-7189)
