remove both tires. romove tie rod ends from hubs. then unscrew tie rods form rack. then remove all fluid lines from rack as well as any electrical sensors that may be on it. then unscrew all large bolts holding rack onto the car. Pull rack out which ever side has the most room. Not easy and requires large tools AND LOTS OF STRENGTH.

You will need to jack the front end up and make sure the jack stands are not in the way when you remove the rack and pinion. Next remove the front wheels. Disconnect the steering connection from the rack and pinion. Remove the front brakes and rotors. Remove pin the holds hub nut. Remove hub nut. Remove all bolts that hold rack and pinion. Remove nut the holds bottom control arm on either side, but you don't have to do both. You have to do this so you have enough play to slide the extensions that are connected to the rack and pinion. That should do it. Installation is the opposite. Good luck. You will need to jack the front end up and make sure the jack stands are not in the way when you remove the rack and pinion.
