Pull driver's chair (this really is optional, it's going to present more area to utilize in pedal cluster area if you remove the chairs)

Through the center place of tyre turn the wheel before steering shaft universal combined bolt is revealed ready where you could get a socket to loosen it. When the bolt is removed it is important to touch a chisel of a set screw driver to the split orifice for the spline clamp and touch the universal shared upwards to ensure that the spline clamp can move easily. (sample in right hand side picture) you don't want to take away the spline clamp from shaft currently, as you will need to turn the controls in later treatments.

Unbolt the 10mm bolts from under the front plastic pan and remove the pan

Unbolt the link pole bolt in the left and right side hub.

Utilize a tie pole cleaner to drive the link rod out from in hub for each region of the automobile.

Loosen the tie pole locking bolt (whenever loosen the locking bolt you need to utilize two wrench to prevent putting pressure on the steering rack)

Loosen the link rod through the ball joint (count the actual amount of turns it requires the wrap pole to comes down.) My count was 18 on each side.

Slip the rubberized boot from the baseball joint and loosen the baseball joint (In addition utilizing two wrench in addition)

Unbolt the hydraulic feed and return line (17mm) on top of the steering rack unit from beneath the car.

Have someone turn the tyre entirely to the right, and drop the steering rack on right-side down very first. Once the right side have actually cleared, turn the tyre entirely left so your left region of the steering rack will clear the mix member and drop straight down.

Once the old steering rack is out it is important to swap across mounting rubber/metal bracket together with hydraulic range holder bracket and boot to the brand new rack.

Once I removed the rack we made a blunder of removing the whole steering line universal combined using the rack.
