have a pro do it because it HAS to be aligned after replacement. If you dont' you will get severe tire wear very quickly

remove bolt holding tie rod in along with cotter key . loosen nut at end of tie rod. smack where shown with double arrow with hammer so tierod will break loose or use a pickle fork tool to separate the end from spindle. unscrew end and reverse for reassy.
