Removing the rack and pinion assembly from a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am Se
To get the old rack and pinion off of the car for replacement involves lowering the sub-frame, removing the stabilizer bar, and pulling the rack out from the driver side of the vehicle.
Important: Get an alignment! Not only is it dangerous to drive with your steering out of align but it will also grate the tread off your tires in a matter of weeks or even days.
SOURCE: How do I remove and repair the rack and pinion on
unbolt the outer tir rod ends, remove lines from steerbox, unbolt rack, pull rack off of steering column, thats it, as for repairing it i doubt there is a kit for repairing it you'll most likely have to replace it
SOURCE: rack and pinion steering need to be replaced. is
going to be a difficult job and take alot of knowlege to do but if you want to do it yourself buy a hyanes manual they walk you throw step by step
Testimonial: "i felt it would have some dificulty to it. but if a hyanes manual is truly step by step, thats good somtimes hyanes is based on full disassembly"
SOURCE: How tough is it to replace the rack & pinion
jack it up put it on jack stands / shake it make sure it's safe . remove tie rod end nuts and split them apart by using a splitter , do both sides .helps if the tires are removed, then unbolt the hoses from either the pump or rack then there's only a couple of bolts and it's out /ready to reverse and put in a new 1. then you may need to bleed the steering system again by turning wheel back and forth to work out air . good luck.

Wow...he may as well do your brakes then too.
Just fix the leak.

That job difficult even with a hoist and power tools, gonna try it??, get a manual, you gotta jackup the car fairly high cause you gotta lower the subframe, you will need line wrenches, crows foot sockets, tie rod splitter, personally i hate doing racks, just venting!!
