How to remove steering rack 101

1. Pull out cotter pins from tie rod ends
2. Unbolt tie rod ends and take a BFH and hammer them out of the ball joint
3. Unbolt steering rack clamps
4. Unbolt PS lines on the left side of rack. Have an oil pan under it so that you don't get fluid all over your drive way. Wait for the fluid to drain before you pull the lines out.
5. Pull the PS lines on the left out
6. Unbolt both bolts on the U-Joint from the steering column and slide the u-joint of the pinion assembly
7. Pull the rack out

Install is the opposite except getting those PS lines back on can be hard. Be careful when threading the bolts back in.
