Yes i have. You can do it on your own like i did. Its a royal PITA gaining access to one of the bolts and is a blind operation - do not round it - doing so will mean puling the engine out to gain access to it. I accessed it from underneath with some wobble bars (i used a torx or allen insert) to access the 'combi bolt' either 16mm outer hex (i think) or torx allen insert.
Not sure what tooling you have, but i would not attempt it unless you are at least a serious amateur with some decent know how. I would give it a possible 4/5 for difficulty mainly because of this one bolt (on the S8 at least). You will also need to centre the rack on reinstall and mark the old one with wheels straight and make sure the steering-wheel column fits up as came off etc etc.
