There used to be an on-line link for repairs (braingears), but it's now dead.

The procedure should be self-evident. Just remember to count the number of turns.

It shouldn't take any special tools. But if you run into difficulties, you may need to improvise. If you have trouble separating the tie rod from the knuckle, you'll need a pickle fork and hammer. The jam-nut (#86 in the image) may be so difficult to remove that even a tubing wrench may not help. At that point you either apply red-hot heat to free up the nut or take it to a shop.
