For pictures of the suspension parts see www.vagcat.com
For the Audi shop manual CD see www.BentleyPublishers.com
Most likely the tie rod end is corroded, so it will take penetrating oil and some effort to lossen it.

It just turns off, takes about 21-23 turns counter clockwise to get it off. If you can't break it loose you need to soak it in PB blaster or break out the propane torch.
