you can get these track rods from a motor factor,remove t/rod end,lock nut,boot,there is a special tool for removing these but have managed with a plumbers tap tool for for up the back of basins etc,refit in reverse and count the t/rod end turns when you take it off and it is advisable to check your wheel alignment when finished,good luck
