Well, when I did it, it wasn't that hard because the engine was out of the vehicle. However, if you have a lift, it's not that difficult. The u-joint to the steering column shaft has to be disconnected at the rack, the two tie rod ends popped, the two hydraulic lines disconnected, then the two bolts that go thru the bushings and hold the rack to the chassis. The rubber bushings are easily pressed out (I used a socket and a pipe clamp) and the poly bushings are in two pieces and are easily pressed-in, again, with a set of clamps.
