I replaced my '85's power steering rack in my driveway using a jack and
jackstands.  As I recall, it took me 3 or 4 hours with much of the time
spent on opening the connector on the U-joint where it goes over the
splined input shaft for the rack.  I ended up using a railroad spike as
a wedge which really worked great.

I was putting on new outer tierod ends so I just used a pickle fork type
separator on them.
