undo the ball joints at the steering arms , loosen off the lock nuts just enough to unscrew the rods
Right hand side right hand thread , left side left hand thread
If you do not move the lock nut back more than 1 thread then you set the lock nut in the same place on the new rod , you will not need a wheel alignment
If you have to take the lock nuts off to fit to the new rods , measure the distance from the end of the rod to the face of the lock nut and position the lock nut at that distance on the new rods
Tyres are not threaded, I am guessing you mean the wheel nuts. All car nuts undo by turning them anti clockwise but some garages over tighten. Get a decent bar to undo it.
Almost always it's standard right hand thread. If your problem is that it's stuck, spray some WD-40 were the blade and the head of the nut meet and tap the blade with a piece of wood. This causes a slight vibration and allows the WD-40 to work under the head and onto the threads.
you need the fan clutch stick tool. To see what one looks like google: BMW fan clutch removal tool. Then make one out of steel. All you need is a 5/16 drill bit and a grinder. or buy one. Then get a 1.25" open end wrench, it's virtually the same as a 32mm open end wrench except cheaper and slightly more common. With your new found clutch stick, hold two of the bolt heads on the water pump pulley and grab the nut with the wrench. It's left hand thread. So to loosen it, move it clockwise while holding the pulley still with the stick. When re-installing, use anti sieze compound. The whole job takes 3 minutes with the right tool.
You gotta remove the fan and shround. Fan nut is 1.250" wrench. Fan nut is left handed thread. this means rightey loosey, lefty tightey. Go get the special tool to hold the fan pulley bolt heads. While you are turning the fan nut clockwise to loosen the special tool holds two of the fan pulley bolt heads to keep the fan pulley still. And voila, off comes the fan. then you can remove the shroud with it. Then you can remove the radiator. Fun job. I've got it down to 8 minutes.
first you need to remove the horn button use a flat screwdriver to pop it out then get the right size socket and remove the large nut you see after the horn button is removed be careful this nut will be pretty tight easier to keep the sterring wheel locked when breaking this nut loose .after you get the nut removed insert the key into the ignition and turn the key to unlock the steering wheel you will not be able to pull the steering wheel off if it is locked now you have to be careful not to hit yourself as the wheel will suddenly just come loose sometimes it will take some muscle other time will come right out but you will have to try to rock it with both hands gripping it on 2 sides rocking it back and forth and should come out
it will be black in color, but don't confuse it with the oil filter housing. power steering reservoir will have a unique cap (#2 in the pic) that can be removed with your hand. the one that has the large nut on top is the oil filter. remove the cap and put in the correct fluid.
