Hi Pete....If you have a close look at the tierod you will see that at the end of it there is a big nut. And also  the steeting arm itself will have 2 flat sides on it which you can put a big spanner or shifter on. Once you loosen the big nut, just turn the steering arm until you get the setting you desire. Most wheel aligment shops can do this. ;D
