No different than doing a tie rod. You remove it like a tie rod and install it like a tie rod. It has a tapered fitting just like the tie rod. I don't know what else to say about it

EDIT: Actually I do. The turbo car I bought had a bent and loose lateral link on the right side. The first few times I drove that car it nearly killed me. The Dimmy Dimwit who installed that sucker didn't tighten up the nut on the end and it was just there, not actually pulled down into the tapered bore. Went to a junk yard and got another.
