With the wheels off the ground, unloosen the nuts on the bolts (first remove the cotter pins if present on the nut and in the shank of the bolt) and in theory the rod can be rotated forward or back by hand to change the toe-in. Unless you are Superman, the use of a pipe wrench or vise-grip pliers may be necessary. A piece of 1/8" rubber sheeting in the jaws of the wrench/pliers will protect the rod from being gouged.
