I just did this a few days ago, no pin holding the inner tie rod on the rack. I also didn't use any locktite or anti seize where the inner tie rod bolts to the rack. When I took the old ones off no evidence of any corrision, there is also a white plastic cap covering the knuckle.
Now I did use anti seize where the outer screws onto the inner... I had to cut both the outers off, pretty sure these had been on the car since new.
And yes the tool makes life so much easier. With the boots (Moog) they came with plastic ties, didn't use the metal bands.
