Replacing the steering rack isn't too bad. The hardest part of the job is undoing the two fluid lines at the rack. It is nearly impossible to get a regular line wrench on the fittings. I used line "crowsfoot" sockets and an extension to remove the fittings. To provide clearance you will need to undo the left outer tie-rod and remove it. On the car I recently did I had to heat the tie rod end as it was stuck. Be sure to replace the o-rings on the fluid lines and apply anti-sieze to the tie-rods.
