I replaced my drag link in about 2hrs. You can get the tierod removal tools on loan, from O'Riley's auto parts. It's the small puller. Most loaner programs charge you the full amount for the tool ,then refund it when returned. If i remember , it's only $20. (Broke mine, doing something i shouldn't have w/ it..lol) . Get the touqe specs. for the nuts. Make sure not to get grease into the receiving points, wiping them out with a rag. You can set the tierod ends with a tape measure , ONLY just to get you to the alignment shop....
