Somethings that helped me:
In order to work under it somewhat comfortably, and safely, in my garage, I used wheel cribs I made from scrap 2x4’s. Mine are a few inches taller than a standard ramp.
Took the sway bar out. It just made it easier for me.
I tapped a flat screwdriver into the steering linkage to spread that collar. Left the screwdriver there to use as a handle to guide the collar on the new rack.
While I had everything apart I replaced the motor mount just above the rack and the O2 sensors.
My biggest mistake was being so tired on Day 3 that I had put the outer tie rods in the knuckle the wrong way. This made my rack 1.5” short on both sides. The rack I so carefully measured. I can laugh about it now
