I used these instructions and they're great. I finished in about five hours, it wasn't an all day job. You should search the archives, too, for more help.

You might find the size of the big wrench you'll need, I think it's 22 mm.

Also, a big time and money saver: I measured the distance from the center of the tie rod ends to a known spot (the innermost thread, for instance) on the rod ends out of the rack. Reinstall to the same measurement and you want need an alignment, assuming you didn't need one before.
