I just replaced the outer tie rod end on a 98 ranger. The task was difficult but not impossible. You have to pull the cotter pin and loosen the bolt on the bottom of the ball joint. (mine was too rusty and stripped so it had to be cut off i used a sawzall but a grinder would be better) Then you need to rent or buy the special fork which you can get at an auto parts store. Use the fork to get the joint out of the steering knuckle. Once that's out i had to use two vice grips one on the outer tie rod and one on the inner tie rod connecting piece. Find a place to put the vice grip that is holding the inner tie rod connector piece so it is secure and you have leverage to turn the tie rod end. Remove the tie rod end and the bolt at the end of the tie rod and put the new one on at the same place they were when you took them off. You will need an alignment anyway once you replace it but you want it close so it isn't impossible to drive to get the alignment. Then put the ball joint through the hole and tighten down. Put the new cotter pin in the bolt.
