You need to take the tie rod ends off of the steering rack.
It's not easy.
You'll need to remove the boots carefully - if you damage them, you need to replace them.
The twist wire ties can be reused, but they can be broken very easily.
After all of that, the front end needs to be realigned back to factory specs, so I hope the alignment shop is close by?
