Do you have manual or power?  if it is manual, disconnect the tie rod ends
from the steering hub, disconnect the two nuts holding the steering column
to the rack then disconnect the 4 nuts holding the rack to the vehicle.  If
it is power steering then you will have to look at the shop manual, but it
should be about the same procedure except for hydraulic lines.
