Default Can i fix this myself?

my wheel is sitting crooked, some of you know, on my 92 EX ever so slightly, a while back posters came to the conclusion it was a tie rod or something of that measure. my question is can i do this myself? like what sort of tools would i need and could i use a jack in the center of the bumper (there is a spot for this) to put it up so i can access the wheel. I have a pretty decent jack made for a minivan so i think it will put the car as high as i need, or will it?

i could prob go look up my gray can and take the parts i need (hopefully they are intact) and do my thang and fix THAT car later.

im strept for cash so this would be a big help if its not to complicated

Ideas?

yes you can diy you will need a 17mm wrench some needle noise a hammer and a crescent wrench cause I forgot what size the tie rod is but just jack up the car and then take the wheel off then get those needle nose pliers and take off the cotter pin out of the castle nut then with your 17mm wrench loosen up the nut then hit the side of the hub near the tie rod and not the thread of the tie rod when it pops out loosen the nut in the back of the tie rod with your 17mm and the cresent wrench when you unscrew the tie rod remember how many twists you did so your alignment wont be so jacked then repeat in reverse.
