Yes, just take out the cotter pin, remove the nut and preferrably use a pickle fork to separte the the tie rod end. If you don't have access to a pickle fork put the nut on upside down until it is nearly flush with the tie rod end threads and hammer it out. I don't like this second method since the threads can still get screwed up and make it nearly impossible to back the nut off. Put the new boot on, reassembly and grease it.
