You are going to need to take the steering system apart to do the rack and pinion. You need to pull your wheels off and brakes and hubs. Then you can start taking the rack and pinion off.

Extract the damages set of pieces, found underneath the oil pan. Make sure the rack is replaced with a new piece as that is the part that gets damages first.
