Is it an inner or an outer tie rod. If it's an outer, than you loosen the jam nut on the tie rod, undo the tie rod end from the strut or steering arm/spindle or whatever it's connected to. And count how many times you turn it on removal, then install the new one and do the same in reverse, count the turns on installation so you have a similar alignment by the end
