Tie rod replacement

Has anyone ever changed their tie rods themselves? Is it difficult/easy? any DIY info? thanks.

IT's easy, Take off nut, (may need pickle fork ) pound out old one . If you haven't replaced one before, buy OEM, because aftermarket may be of a different lenght, count the number of turns required to take old one off. Reverse process to install. Hopefully the old one is OEM also , due to lenght issue. Or you can measure distance from nut inward and replicate after you install new . Measure BEFORE you remove old one. I don't measure, I count the number of turns to remove. It's easy.
