How do I adjust toe?

How do I adjust toe?
This might be a stupid question, but I want to be sure before I mess something up.
I replaced the track rod ends. Measured the track before I did that, and I’m confident that it will be the same with the new rod ends.
However in case I need to adjust track / toe – how is that done? Did not find any description in JTIS.
The tie rod ends are secured with a counter-nut, so I assume I can turn the tie rod like in any other vehicle, just need to undo the gaiter. Is that a correct assumption, or does Jaguar expect me to undo the tie rod end and turn it for adjustment?
Cheers
