Remove front tire, remove cotter pin if it has one, remove the nut, back off the lock nut just so it breaks free, use a tie rod fork or seperator and pop the tie rod out of the knuckle, unscrew the end and count the turns, screw on the new one the same number of turns it took for the old one to come off, put it in the knuckle and tighten. Lock the lock nut down, grease it, put tire on!
