Question regarding Tie Rods

Hi,
I have a 99 4x4 and was wondering how hard it would be for someone to
replace all the tie rod ends on the front. I have a Right front inner tie
rod going, and since I'll need to get an alignment, I figured that I would
save ~$300 labor and do it myself.

I have done shocks, brakes, and the upper ball joints before... but this one
is new. Any special tools or problems that I would run into? Any tricks
regarding the placement nuts so that the alignment is close to what it was
before I would start?

Thanks!
