Lexus 45460-49055 Rod Assy, Tie, RH

Hold the tie-rod with a pair of locking pliers or a wrench and loosen the jam nut enough to mark the position of the tie-rod end in relation to the threads. Hold the tie-rod end with a wrench and break the jam nut loose with another wrench. Back off the jam nut and mark the exposed threads to ensure that the new tie-rod end is threaded on the same number of turns.
