its actually easy to change it.

jack the car
put jackstands
remove front wheels
marked down the steering rack for alignment
unbolt the bracket from the cross member
loosen and unbolt the steering lines
unbolt the steering rod from the steering rack
loosen the motor mounts
jack the motor high and place jackstand on transmission.
then unbolt outer tie rods from knuckles
then slowly pull the steering rack. while at it change the steering rack bushing and the power steering high pressure line.

if i miss anything pls add

sorry im at work and i tried to help as fast as i can
