No, it's much simpler than that.   There is a locknut on the end of each 
tierod, where it threads into the tie rod end.   Loosen the locknut, and also 
loosen the hose clamp on the small end of the boot.   Then use a pair of 
vice-grips and rotate the rod; turning it in one direction will move the wheel in, and 
in the other direction, out.

But the proper thing to do is to take the car to an alignment shop and have 
it done RIGHT.
