Extremely difficult. It would be pretty difficult to replace a rack and pinion. You are probably better off having a professional do it, or even just buying a newer van.

Just got a call from Meineke where I dropped off my 1998 Plymouth Voyager van because of squeeling noise in steering. Thought it was time to replace the serpentine and probably the tensioner. Instead, the manager called to tell me I was loosing steering fluid because the R & P was shot. The rack and pinion needed to be replaced to the tune of $700.00. Well, I picked up the van for $100.00 (and it even included $50.00 worth of gas!) I told him to refill the steering fluid and call it a day. At this point I'll just keep spare fluid in the van and run it to the ground. I'm in Connecticut, where even the air is expensive. Don't know how this price compares in other areas.
Pinion is necessary to get to and replace the pinion crush sleeve that controls the pinion pre-load. It is also stated that a complete teardown of the differential is necessary as well.
