It is on a 1996 Holden VS Commodore. I have my own tools but nothing specific to tie rod ends. I know that once it is changed it will need a wheel alignment immediately; but I just want to know how difficult is it to change the ends at home?|||It isn%26#039;t actually that difficult but by the time you add your time, the tool rental and having an alignment done, you may was well have it done at a shop.|||fairly easy, rent a pickle fork to make the job easier.
Hell I wouldnt know what they would call a pickle fork down under though...

But sometimes they are rusted in and you need a special ball joint puller
