It's normal thread. However, if it's been on there a while, you may need a substantial impact wrench to remove it. I had had mine off around 45K, at 145K they were not coming off... ruined my 1/2" solid steel breaker bar trying to get them off. I ended up at a local car/truck station where a guy with a big impact wrench took them off for me (bought my own deep impact socket for him to use).
If your stabilizer bar links are old, they will likely break on removal or require grinding off. Get new ones ahead of time. Ball joint nuts are 18mm as I recall and you'll need an open end to get in there.
