Assuming you mean the outer tie rod end (connects with a balljoint to the spindle) and not the inner (the part of the tie rod that has a fairly large circular boot with a few "layers" to it) or the whole rack and pinion (the entire assembly, both sides; leave that to a pro... it's a BIG job). Inner tie rod ends rairly fail.
That all being said the outer tie rod end is very easy to replace. You will need a balljoint seperater and a socket to fit the castle nut. I recommend at least a 1/2" drive. Also 2 crescent wrenchs, pipe wrenchs, or visegrips, a needle nose pliers and a big hammer to drive the seperator.
After removing the wheel/tire. (You should turn the steering in the direction opposite of what you are changing to make access easier)
Remove the cotter pin from the castle nut and remove the nut. Use the seperator to pop the balljoint out of the spindle/steering knuckle. Mark the location of the outer tie rod end on the threads of the inner tie rod end. This helps get the alignment back to close. Using the 2 wrenches of your choice grab the outer tie rod end with one and the inner with the other. There should be an indent on each specifically for a wrench. I think 3/4" fits it. Turn the wrenches so the one on the outer tie rod end turns lefty-loosey. The tie rod end should thread all the way off. Thread the new one on to the mark. the whole thing should then rotate so you can put the stud of the balljoint back in the spindle/steering knuckle. Put the castle nut on and the cotter pin in. (Nut needs to be tight enough to get pin in but not too tight.)
