One side of mine had oil on the tie-rod threads, so I'm not sure how important that loctite would be anyway...I bought a thin 32mm bicycle headset wrench so I can get good torque on it during install.

The non-turbo locknut isn't well detailed in the popular articles and videos that turn up from a search, so I figured I'd highlight it here (considering it's the "frustrating" bit of this job...if you don't know it's there)!

Just drift it loose (lefty-loosey—it's "locked" inward to the steering rack), and then you can easily twist the tie-rod (though you'll have to put some pressure on it to avoid hitting the spindle...Remember that you can move the rack and wheel back and forth)!
