    this is what i followed http://www.grandprixforums.net/04_rack_replacement.php

    you dont need to pull the air box or master cylinder out, the lines on the rack are totally accessible from under the car, 18 mm line wrench would be best, i dropped my cradle maybe 3 inches, and removed the sway bar. dont spin the steering wheel like a little kid either lol once the rack is unhooked, lock the wheel and leave it alone, if you spin it the clock spring breaks and then you got a air bag light and no radio controls on the wheel.

    when you go over the how to, you will see theres not a whole lot to do but its all in tight areas, it took me 4 hours to complete, from car on the ground back to all 4 wheels on the ground, 30 minutes clean up time, well less time but walking around like thank god thats over!

    and i backed my car up onto car ramps, and then jacked the front as high as i could, just to gain as much room as i could.

    and i also degreased the whole under side and engine the day before so it would be a cleaner job, dont know how clean your cars engine but mine still gets cleaner every time i degrease it.
