Its usually a dashboard removal job,remove the steering wheel and the column in one bit. remove the keys so the steering lock comes on. if the steering spins after you disconnect it from the rack it will damage the clock spring for the airbag. remove all the bolts and lift forwards and check up the back for any wires still connected. not sure if these are bolted from the engine side of the bulkhead. pretty big job for a novice but if you know a bit about cars you should manage ok.

If you have a digital camera take pics as you progress they might prove handy.
