it is pretty straight forward.
loosen the nut that tightens onto the tierod end that is on the inner tierod.
just lose it 1 turn
then remove the cotterpin, loosen the bolt.
now is the tricky part. best thing to do, get a sledge hammer or a good strong hammer
and hit the part that holds the tie rod end in so with the banging itll pop up. if you have a long extension or prybar you can put pressure on it by pushing the tierod end up and banging at the same time. both will work.
then unscrew and put in the new 1. dont forget to put in a cotterpin once the new one is in place.
and tighten that single bolt that u losend. make sure u turn the tie rod end in all the way till it hits the bolt that u losend. that way your alignment should be how it was before you took it off.

if you want to avoid doing a alignment some times it works sometimes not but before you take everything apart measure from the plastice sleave/boot thing on the inner tie rod to the center of the out tierod.
then take a wrench and just crack loose the jam nut.
blah blah
take everything apart and put back together, try to obtain the initial measurement that you had in the begining. (as long as it wasn't pulling to begin with)
