Good job Richard, do post a few select pics - that would be nice.
Maybe John will want you to writeup a nice procedure for his site?
How hard were the power steering lines to break loose??

Good to here Richard! (I told you it wasn't to difficult if you take it slow and think first). I'll still have to wait another two weeks before I get my rack in return. Are you changing the inner tie rods/forks also?

Jeff, the lines on my rack wasn't hard to undo. It was just a little hard to reach and get the right angel with the socket on the upper bolt/line...but not a big thing.

You are right, the top headbolt was a little tricky, its impossible (unless you remove the trailing arm cross member struts) to get the rack out without undoing it either, there is just not enough clearance between the pipe and the cross member. However. I know know that putting it back will be easy enough. I imagine the hardest part will be getting the steering wheel back to centre after having to remove the steering shaft universal joint from behind the foot pedals inside the car, But I'll explain this a little better once I do all the pictures.
