I am about to replace the spindles on my 93. Does anyone know how to remove the tie rod from the spindle? Any help would be great.

Noooooo!
You want to whack the side of the spindle where the tie rod goes thru-
Hit it hard enough and the tie rod will pop loose. Leave the nut loose on the tie rod so it does no fall all the way out. Don't be afriad to wind up and really bang the crap out of it.
Trust the old guy...

I hit the spindle with a hammer and it popped right out. I was glad I didn't need to use a pickle fork (they tend to damage the boot). Thanks for all who replied.
