Replacing inner steering tie rods 1990 240 wagon 200

I'm wanting to change the inner tie rods on the steering for my 1990 240 wagon with CAM style rack.

Photos of the inner tie rods on the steering/gear rack can be seen at my blog, www.hotcrowd.wordpress.com These are the original factory parts, never been removed.
Also photos of the new parts from FCPgroton.
These have the correct ends to screw onto the steering rack. I have no idea how to remove this passenger side tie rod. It has a clip type piece formed onto the end like a tab. It doesn't budge at all. The rod on the driver side of rack doesn't have this. It can be unscrewed and replaced with my new part.
I want to do this job if possible. Otherwise I'll save up for a new rack, ($250).
Anyone know what we are looking at here? I haven't found mention of this in any forums online. What is your experience?

Thanks in advance. Best of success with your cars too.

Maybe try to get it to budge with a large pipe wrench,I did the same job on my 90 wagon last wk. and do not remember any locking clip on either side.I have seen earlier years with locking washers that you would dimple in to set,perhaps what you have there is something similar.
