Starting with this, take out the pinch bolt connecting the intermediate shaft with the rack and pinion stub shaft. The second point is to raise the front of the car and make it stand on jackstands and remove the two front wheels. Then undo the cotter pins and nuts so that the
Tie Rod Ends are no longer connected to the
Steering Knuckles. In models that are power steered, remove the switch, the fluid lines, wrap the rags around them to absorb any fluid. Then, remove the retaining bolts and remove the rack and pinion assembly using the left wheel well. When the rack and pinion needs repair, you have a number of options: Buy a new part, the most costly choice; go to a local shop that also rebuilds them, it is more cost-effective; get one in a wrecking yard, which is again costly; or attempt to re-assemble it yourself, but this is a difficult process that needs a press. Installation is the opposite of removal and in case of power steering, place the mentioned fluid in the reservoir then remove the air in the system later. Lastly, make sure that the toe-in is examined and corrected in case of need after installation.
