simply sliding the tie-rod end out of the hole will not adjust your specs.

Turning the end would adjust the overall length of the rod and throw them off.

You don't need to turn it to remove it. If you should HAPPEN to turn it, tape/chalk whichever thread its at beforehand, and also count how many full turns of the end you made. Then replace it at the same count, to ensure the same spec.
