I'm in the process of removing the steering rack on a '99 Mountaineer with the 5.0 V8. The main power steering pressure line and the line to the p.s. cooler are next to impossible to reach. It looks like the bracket that holds the oil filter, If removed, will allow me plenty of clearance to easily remove the power steering lines from the rack. It looks as if there is only 1 bolt holding the oil filter bracket on.
Is it difficult to remove the oil filter bracket and are there any reasons I shouldn't remove it? I'm really stuck here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
