I'm going to try to fix this wheel alignment issue this afternoon. What's the best thread desribing the tie rod end adjustment to center up the steering wheel? Never done that and don't want to screw it up.

I just did that here (unsuccessfully at first):
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=483244 I was trying to do it by turning the tie rod ends. That didn't work too well!
There is a slot on the tie rod for a box end wrench, and a similar slot on the tie rod end to keep it from turning while you turn the tie rod. Just loosen the lock nut while holding the tie rod end, then rotate the tie rod. Don't forget to re-tighten the lock nut. Repeat procedure in the opposite direction on the other side.
In the end, it took about a 1/4 turn of the tie rod to center my wheel, which was off by 6 degrees.
