Default 1994 inner tie rod ends

Does anyone know if one can replace the inner tie rod ends on my 1994 Accord without removing the steering rack?
Thanks!

I moved this to General Tech - please do not post in the DIY section.

Yes, the inner tie rod(s) can be replaced without removing the rack.

Thanks, anything special that I need to know (other than its tight in there)?
Also thanks for routing the thread correctly, I'm new to this process.

Sorry for the delay.....just get the pieces (spacer and new lock washer) back in the right place/order. Take your time with the vent tube on the boots. Of couse check the outer tie rods while there. I also suggest you have the alignment checked after the work.

Thanks for the advice, I'm doing the outer ball joints & axles at the same time, so no prob: my home is 1/4 mi from the alignment shop, & I'm pretty good at getting it roughly right.
Also have had a number of Saabs (among other obscuratta) and Detroit iron: fun stuff.
