Today I went at this rack
I first loosened the pinch bolt in the steering shaft lower
I then locked the wheel straight then removed the shaft
I removed the tie rods as a assembly ...inner outer with the boot ...
Now I pushed the rack gear in the rack and pinion all the way to the passenger side
I removed the cooler put it aside and drained the system
Now the low pressure line can be removed from the cooler and left on the rack all together
Removed the Rack mounting bolts
I tilted the whole unit back and removed the high pressure line
I hear lots of story s about how hard it is to remove the unit but its easy
My thinking was if its hard to get out of the front then ill try the back
I removed the rack in 2 minutes. mint
Cleaned the rack installed the new bushings old ones were a little beat up normal
Installed the steering rack being sure to put it back in the exact same spot
Regressed the rack gear both sides lots of moly assembly lube ...rack rebuilder
Told me what to use and where to use it
just a phone call
Now the tie rod assembly s were done one at a time
I put about a half a tube of grease through each outer tie rod ends to flush them out Boy they are tight hard to move by hand the inner ones to
The inners were flushed out and refilled with silicone grease
Re installed them with a drop of lock tight on the inners
Installed the outer ends to the steering knuckles
I installed the steering shaft the way I removed it
I unlocked the wheel ...pay attention to have everything lined up or you will damage the clock spring assembly
Filled the system I turn the pump by hand and have her turn the wheel
Big bubbles are easier to get out than little ones
Test drive went great
I almost forgot the Teflon o ring edit no leaks
I just put a string through it and worked it on no problem
Be sure to have a 19mm line wrench ready
