Hey Gvfz,

First jack your car up safely by following this guide

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/jack-up-and-lift-your-car-safely

Then undo the bolt to the steering column, followed by the tie rod ends follow the guide below:

Next, would be the power steering lines be sure to have an oil drain pan ready because fluid will leak out at this point.

Next: Remove the main rack mounting bolts.

Once the rack is out match it too the new unit, and reverse these instructions to reassemble , please let me know if you have any further question or problems you would like help with.

Best, Ken
