Tried it myself once, gave up! Sure its easier to do under the car, wheels in the way to get a good pull on the spanner IMO.

get some long batterns that will go over the front, hen two shorter ones at 90degrees and make them run along the wheels, then get one wheel straight, look see how much adjustmnent needs doing (get the passenger straight more room on the drivers side...) then adjust the track rod end keep checking till they look spot on. job done.....
