This guide will walk you through replacing the inner and outer tie rods on your Volvo 240. You may replace only the outer tie rods (tie rod ends) if you wish; this is a very common repair. If you are planning on replacing just the inner tie rods, though, we recommend that you consider replacing the outer tie rods as well.

Recommend buying new boots. Even though my boots where not cracked it would have made the job easier. Great step by step.
how risky is it to break the seals when unscrewing the inner tie rod end ?
