If you're having to ask, get someone else to do it.

1 degree out wouldn't look wrong by eye but it would destroy your tyres in next to no time, so doing it yourself is a silly idea anyway.

If you mean like that looking from the front of the car, then thats camber not tracking.

Looking above the tyre is tracking.

You have to undo the locknut, and wind out/in the track balljoint.

Mark them up with tip-ex prior to removal and count how many turns it needs to wind off. Do the reversal on re-fitting!
