Track rod ends DIY

Evening gents , Disco`s just been into stealer for a a check up and it was mentioned that the track rod end are slightly worn. Does anyone know if this is something that I could do myself or is it a stealer job, looks fairly straight forward but if anyone has done this how was it ? Also what is the part number for them ?

Easy job, but I would recommend doing the inner and outer ball joints of the track rod, my inners went first. It will also make the job easier. Also you should have the tracking checked afterwards, but I cheated and made a jig up for accurately measuring the length of the old rods to transfer to the new ones.

Count the number of turns it takes to take the ends off. When you use the same number to get them on again you should be fine.
Wheel allignment wouldn't hurt though.
