Default 2009 IS250AWD Rack Pinion Removal Instructions

Hello, if someone would be kind enough to print me the steps for
2009 IS250AWD Steering Rack Pinion Removal ...
Also can i get this from a local parts store?

I have, disconnected both ends of the rack and pinion, removed the steering wheel shaft ftom the little motor, removed both wheels, removed all the wires and connections, both the main bolts that hold it in place, then....removed the little motor to make the rack and pinion smaller around, took the nuts off the engine mounts and jacked the engine up and now it hits the sway bar...i assume it must be removed too??????

any help would be appreciated...............

The instructions from Lexus on the AWD models instruct the technician to remove the engine in order to get the steering rack out (RWD models do not require this). I'm not sure if there is another way to gain clearance, but that's what the repair manual suggests.

WoW...we finally got it out with unbolting the sway bar on each side and folding it up, jacking the motor up as high as possible from the oil pan with the mount nuts removed.
It was a *****! Especially with no instruction "anywhere" on alldata or google.
Had to do it the old fashined way...look feel remove.

thanks
