Getting the steering rack back in without a second pair of hands is probably the most challenging part, otherwise it doesn't require a yoga expert to get everything out and back in again. There are many really good threads here to help with the process.

Aw sheesh, Bill, you went all out there, didn't you? That's the full spectrum of "while you're in there" stuff that many of the posts here rightly recommended. Would you be so kind as to provide a tally of what the stuff you've replaced ended up costing you? Not a detailed accounting, mind you, just a ball park give or take total for the new parts.
