The way the stupid oil filter is positioned, there is no way to take it off without it spilling all over the steering rack boot. I cleaned it up with some brake cleaner but maybe some oil was still left.

I take a piece of cardboard, bend it into a V and jam it under the oil filter. The oil runs down the cardboard into the pan! Not all over the steering rack!
Did the same thing when I had the 01 Cobra. Works Great!
