Doing It

Feel you're up to it? Are you ready to get started? Then let's do it!

1. Put the wheels in a straight-ahead position. The steering wheel should be in the center position. Remove the key from the ignition and make sure the steering wheel is locked. You do not want the steering wheel to turn while removing the rack. Doing so will make it possible for the spiral cable in the steering wheel to unwind and become useless.
2. Crack loose all the wheel lug nuts
3. Raise and support the vehicle with approved jack stands.
4. Remove both front wheels.
5. Remove the Steering Shaft Coupler Outer Seal and unbolt the upper pinch bolt on the Steering Shaft Coupler assembly.
6. Detach the outer tie rod ends. You may need to use a special tie rod end puller to get them off. You can rent one at the local rental store. Most times a sharp rap with a BFH on the end of the tie rod mount will shock it loose. Do not hit the tie rod end itself.

Remove any parts required to gain access to the rack mounting bolts, lines and steering coupling.
