which part are you talking about? the tie rod ends?(that attach to the stub axle?)or the rack ends(long shaft lookin thing between the steering rack and the tie rod ends?)
they are easy to replace, but you will need a wheel alignment after you swap them over

simple but tedious, if its the original item, ull need to pull the rack out as the coupling bracket is riveted to it, then u need to drill out the rivets. or u could be lucky enough and its already been replaced before, then all u need to do is undo the 4 bolts and chuck the new one in. u can buy the kit from Pedders for about 55 bucks.
