Re: Replacing Tie-Rod
Are you replacing the whole lot? The ends? Or the middle?
Easy enough to do with a decent balljoint seperator. The ends cn be a bastard to get off though. If you haven't already bought the new bits, try Bursons for replacements, although they only do ends.

Re: Replacing Tie-Rod
I replaced my tie rod ends not that long ago on my 86 lux, I had new ends ready to go on, they came with new nuts and split pins, so keeping the old ones wasnt an issue.
I loosened the castle nut until it was at the top of the bolt, then belted it with a hammer, and as posted above, a balljoint seperator will come in handy too.
After youre done fitting the new ends, make sure you get a wheel alignment done.
Good luck.
