well you are technecally right there are 2 parts to the tye rod (that being the one that goes from one wheel to the other) then there are 2 parts to the drag link (the part that goes from the pitment arm to the tye rod) however most pepole just call the all tye rod (ends) to sympilfy it

the nuts should come off pritty easy, do you have access to an impact gun? itll make it easer, the as long as you dont wanna keep any of the rods u take off once you get the nuts use a pintle fork to separate them, hammer it in and if it dosent pop with that just keep the pintle fork in under tension then hammer where the nut was they will pop right off, there not really that hard, spraying some WD-40 or some good pehatrating oil will help losen the nuts too, oh and dont forget to take the cotter pins out first
