Get a workshop manual it explains it better than I can. 
Anyhow... Yes the back of the subframe needs to be dropped a bit. 4 rear bolts in floor need to come out and the 4 top tower bolts (or nuts) loosened or removed. Rack is removed from the drivers side, after taking column off and rack U-bolts out. If it's a hydro, watch the hoses....!

I did my rack last week and in the work shop manual it says 3 hrs well it took my like 5+ and lots of invented words. My best tip is clean the whole area with a HP cleaner first Have spare U bolts wear gloves as the blood has just stopped coming from my knuckles! Good luck |

My best tip- Before putting rack back in, try the U-bolts in floor holes from inside cabin. In use they get spread wider. They need squeezing in a vice a bit to make them fit again. Easier to find out how much this way, than under the friggin' car...
