Default Tie rods question?

How hard is it to change the tie rods on a 94 civic? I have to replace the driver front so when I change my brakes i'm gonna do this. I'm gonna replace the inner and outer tie rods on the front driver and passenger side. How hard is this to do? I've never done this before.

outer is not bad at all. spray them down with some good penetrating oil and let them sit for a little bit. ive never done the inner b4 though. i would recomend a alignment after words though.

Alignment is more than recommended, its necessary. Changing tie rod ends throw your alignment off. For inner tie rod ends you can rent a specialized tool at auto zone or other similar auto parts store, to make the job easier.

alignment is 100% necessary if you replace it unless you just dont care. but all should be easy with proper tool...
