Subject:steering rack R & R.

It looks like the steering rack on my son's Syncro has taken a bullet to
the head. I haven't seen it yet, but he says the boots are shredded,
fluid is leaking and it makes a screeching noise when you turn the
steering wheel. So, looking in the Bentley I see a diagram of the system
but not a step by step removal and replacement. Anybody have some info
you could e-mail me, what to look out for, what all needs to be replaced
that is not included in the replacement rack, how long should this take,
any special tools needed.

Sure appreciate any and all the help you can offer.
