Uh, not that hard.  You don't need to disconnect the ball joint from the
steering arm.  Just loosen the clamp on the boot, and loosen the jam nut at
the rod end, then rotate the tie rod to unscrew it from the rod end.  Same
as always, count the turns to get it back to the original position when you
reassemble it.
