How can I replace my steering rack boot?

My front steering rack boot is leaking bad on the driver’s side of my 95 Taurus. This is causing my power steering pump to run low and squeal something awful. I believe the boot is torn, but I can’t quite see where. It doesn’t appear hard to get at. My question is this - How hard is it to replace this part and what are the steps? The nearest clamp will be a piece of cake. The one closer to the engine is going to be a little more difficult. Thanks for the help.
