Seems to me it should center the same as any rack. count the turns from lock to lock and divide by 2. As for the clock spring center the steering wheel then tie it in place before you uncouple from the rack.

It is quite easy. Did it myself in a couple of hours.
Hook up to FORSCAN, and go in to the AS BUILT DATA for the power steering module, and write down the numbers exactly as you see them
Unhook the battery, and put the front end on jackstands.
Take the wheels off
Unplug the EPAS
Remove tie rod ends from spindle
Remove two front bolts (VERY TIGHT BOLTS. You will need breaker bar) going through the front cross member and then wiggle the EPAS out.
Mark where your tie rod ends are on the old epas
Remove tie rods from EPAS and put on new EPAS (Or put new ones on if they are worn out)
Reinstall in reverse order
Get an alignment
Hook up to FORSCAN. The power steering module will give you an error code. Go in to the AS BUILT DATA and copy the data you wrote down earlier
Done

you could probably just just save the old module file and then write it to the new one, save some typing
