Properly raise, support, and remove wheel from vehicle.

Loosen the nut that is on inner tie rod which is fastens to the outter tie rod.

Remove cotter pin from outter tie rod stud nut and loosen nut a few turns.

Use a small sledge hammer to strike steering knucle (wear safety glasses) where outter tie rod is inserted.

Repeat until tie rod becomes loose.

Do not strike tie rod but you can gently hit stud to see if it has become loose from steering knuckle.

While holding inner tie rod in place, count how many turns it takes to remove outter tie rod, then install new tie rod with an equal amount of turns (while holding inner in place).

Use new hardware that comes with the new tie rod, and use grease gun to grease it until you see tie rod boot slightly move.

Tighten nut that fastens outter tie rod in place to inner tie rod, then tighten outter tie rod stud to steering knuckle and install cotter pin (do not overtighten any nuts).

Install wheel and you should get an alignment.
