I'm pretty sure they have to come out. Just keep trying, they're probably just stuck.

Take a hammer and hit the side of the tie rod end, DO NOT HIT THE BOLT!!!!! and it should break it loose and should pop right off. Same for the ball joints.

Yeah, they definetly have to come out of there. I have mine apart too. If you have access to an air gun, spray the bolts down with pb blaster or some other type to loosen the bolts and put the air gun on there and let it crank on for a bit. They come loose with enough cranking.
