Peter,

You don't need to remove the tie rod end from the steering knuckle to
replace the rack boot!

Just mark the threads at the back of  nut that locks the tie rod end in
place, loosen the nut and rotate the rod to unscrew the tie rod end.

Slip on the new boot and re-assemble by lining up the paint mark and
nut.  Have the front end re-aligned if you are a purist, just to be
sure.
