Did this about 3 months back.
It is a great mod to do.
The only difficult bit is having the right (large) size flare spanners for the 2 pipes to the rack itself.
The rest is pure Meccano.
Beware when draining the fluid as it can run into your headers and is flammable!
I used Halfords spower steering pump fluid as the replacement.
It takes a long time to fully bleed-off the air, about 5 mins in my case.

Rack cost £140 as a 'special' to me (that is cheap)
Whole job took about 2 hours as I faffed about with the pipes on re-fitting.
Watch-out for the small O ring seals when you take the rack off the pipes!
