Wheels off, track rod ends off the hubs.

Jack under the engine, rear mount off and gear linkage off, ease the engine forward.

Think the rack is the lowest point so drain fluid from here if its PAS.

Get inside and take it off the column.

Then the four 13s on the bulkhead, either underneath or via the wheel arches or on top, can't remember.

Yeah just to give you a bit more room. You got a transmission jack? The tall one for holding gearboxes? That would do it.

Might even get away without moving the engine if its EPAS, not as much in the way.

i changed mine last week on my drive, car up on stands, inlet and alternator off the engine (20XE) disconnect gear linkage and front gearbox mount and lean the engine forward, then theres plenty of space to wiggle the rack out
