SOURCE: How to remove inner tie rods on a 95 Tracer/Escort wagon
You need a special tool that slides over the inner tie rod after removing the outer ones.make sure you count the turns to remove the outer tie rods so the alignment will be close. You will need to have it aligned after the repair.

Disconnect the outer tie rod and remove,then remove boot,then use special tool to remove inner tie rod. You will then have to have it aligned. You can use a tape measure to get it close enough to drive,just mark one of the grooves in the tire so you are measuring the exact same points,measure from tire to tire in the front of front tires then take a measurement at the rear of front tires and adjust the outer tire rods until the measurements are pretty close to equal.

if fluid is flowing out the bellows, you need to replace the steering rack assembly. There is no fluid in the area of the inner tie rod. The seal is just before the tie rod.

The power rack and pinion steering gear is serviced as a power steering short rack (3L547). The front wheel spindle tie rods (3280) and tie rod ends (3A130) are serviced individually.

You will definately need an expert to handle this because it is in a tight compartment.
Good luck.
SOURCE: I need a suspension diagram that shows the Inner tie rods.
The inner tie rods are screwed into ends of the steering rack assembly.
Look at this diagram. #6 is the rubber boots and #7 is the shaft from the inner tie rods.
