Tierod ends

Nevermind the rust in the picture.

I think this thing got pulled out of being stuck by the steering linkage. How hard is it in put in new tie-rods ends? The other side looks ok, think I should do both anyways? I was thinking of getting new sleeves too, to be nice to the mechanic that will be doing the alignment.

Tie-ing one on & Re-tiring...

Tie rod end replacement is fairly straightforward. Proper tools are needed including a pickle fork to remove the old ends. Just be sure to count the number of rotations to remove & that will give you a good starting point for the initial setup of your new ends & the trip to the alignment shop.

Also, by the looks of the cracks/weather checks in the sidewall of that tire I hope you are also shopping for new rubber.
