Undo the TRE and remove the castle nut, smack the top with a hammer to knock it out. Undo TRE from rack end, and remove boot. I'm pretty sure VY is same as VR and it just unscrews from the rack, using a spanner. Some will say hit the knuckle with two hammers to remove the TRE but it's not necessary if your replacing the part anyway.

Do you need any special tools to remove the rack end?

Nope...It's as described and simple....Just be careful not to strip the thread at the end of the rack end
