Tie rod removal

I bent my passenger side Tie rod, so how hard is it to remove and how much for a new one approximately? Thanks in advance.

call checker auto parts, and its not hard to remove, youll need a impact fork thingy, air chisel, jack, assorted wrenches, but its easy...

ok. What do I need the air chisel for? and did you mean a pickle fork? once I get the tie rod end off the rod, do I just unscrew the rod or is there a lock nut I gotta loosen on the inside end?
