For tie rods, it's really easy.
Just losen the retaining nut and the castle nut. Then jack the truck up. Hit the tie rod shaft. It works like a charm for me. Not good for your inners, but ohhhhh well.
Then you just count your turns and take off the tie rod.
That may not have explained it well, but thats the easiest way.

if you can get ahold of the right tool for the inners you wont need to remove the rack, your gonna need 2 inners, 2 outers, and 2 boots. good luck trying to set the toe "by eye" close enough to get it to a alignment shop.
your probley gonna need upper and lower balljoints also.
