Steering Rack Replacement

I know there is probably a thread in here somewhere that deals with this, but I am just getting used to using the forum. Sorry. Does there exist a pictorial or step by step process for replacing the steering rack? I know there can be some issues when replacing it, like installing it so it engages wit the splines in the same configuration as the old one was setting.

if youre talking about an fd then the shaft that connects the rack to the column has a notch in it so it only installs one way. i mean you COULD install it wrong but theres a level of implied intelligence when it comes to lining it up. if you can count to 10 without thinking about, youll be alright.
