Push the boot back out of the way, use a giant cresent wrench and unscrew them, screw the new ones in.
The length of the inner outer tie rod assembly should be measured before you take them apart and then matched with the new parts. I use a micrometer to get the tie rods the exact correct length. Also it is good practice to not move the knuckle at all during the process so you can ensure the tie rod length is correct when you put it back in the hole
You can turn the rack all the way to drivers, then replace the drivers side....move it all the way passenger and then do the pass side, makes it easier
Hardest part is getting those hard rubber/plastic boots back in place and over the vent line that runs from side to side of the rack and re clamping them down
