Others have described the installation process, but basically just loosen the set screws and lift off the head, loosen set screws on top collar and remove it. Loosen the table lock handle and slide the table and old rack up and off, then put the new rack against the table gear and slide them down to the bottom as a unit. There is an arrow on the rack to indicate the top vs bottom. Reattach the top collar being sure to keep it level all around so the table will be able to turn easily. Reattach the head and secure the set screws.
