Sorry but how do I change a tie-rod end. Is it regular or reverse thread. Also how do I self align the front tiers.
Thank You

It's a regular right-hand thread.

You can't. You can count the number of threads on the old one, then fit the new one the same distance, but to get the Toe set accurately, you need an Alignment machine. An Alignment machine compensates for irregularities (run-out) in the Hub, Wheel and Tire; you can't do that at home.
