Undo everything which has to be undone then reverse your steps.  Now for the
important stuff: flush about a gallon of new (cheap, if there is such a thing
anymore) ATF THROUGH (not around) the system BEFORE you break it done and then
again once the new rack is in place.  It's overkill, but what the hell,
you'll be all greasy anyway and you certainly don't want to queef out that new rack
with some ca-ca let behind from the disintegration of the old rack.
