I did leave out a few steps. If you are starting from scratch, you have to remove the outer tie rod and lock nut. You then remove the rubber boot covering the end of the rack (the inner clamp can be a PITA). Once the boot is off, you will see the ball and socket portion of the inner tie rod. On most cars, there are flats that allow you to use a wrench in some cases or a special inner tie rod socket in other cases. Ford's latest better idea is to save $.02 by not machining any flats at all on the socket portion. Since there is very little room to work, you can't usually get in there with a pipe wrench or similar tool. Since I am basically lazy, I used a strap wrench after I ground a small groove/flat in the outer portion of the inner tie rod socket. This allowed the strap wrench a small 'edge' to grip and not slip on the socket. That way I could avoid pulling the rack and working on it on the bench. Sorry this reply is so long-winded, maybe someone else can explain it a little better than I can.
