Default pics on replacing an outer tie rod end?

Anyone know where I can find pics of replacing an outer tie rod end and a detailed how-to? I would like to do it myself (I'm broke) as soon as possible and need to get inspected asap. And a good place to buy one? I have basic mech knowledge (brakes, plugs, ect.) So it seems simple enough to do just can't find any good pics or diagrams...

The dealership says $61 for an oem and I can find "Moog" ends online for $30 ~ 75 Should I just get the ones from the dealer since they are right down the road from me and I only plan on replacing the one of them?

Yes I know I nned to get the alignment done after replacing it.

Edit: 2003 Eclipse spyder GT (forgot that part)

It isnt very difficult to understand how to do, but it can be a PITA. I would suggest picking up a manual.

I downloaded a pdf manual for my car and all I can find in it is a section explaining how to check the seal and it tells me to replace them if the seal is cracked... but, not how to replace them, found a lot on diy websites so it seems pretty easy. I'll give it a go on my next day off, should I just buy the part from the mitsu dealership or get the "Moog" brand?
