Before dismantling the car Rack And Pinion make sure to find the front part of a car and raise it by jacks while applying the parking brake. Put drain pan under the power steering Rack And Pinion, removed the hoses and sealed the ends with caps to avoid fluid dropping and getting dirty by any chance; it is better to use a flare-nut wrench when available. Locate the position of the intermediate shaft lower universal joint to the Rack And Pinion input shaft and finally remove the pinch bolt for the lower end of the intermediate shaft. After that, turn the Pitman arm nut and washer, and note the position for the further assembly process. It is necessary to use two-jaw puller to remove the Pitman arm from the shaft, for the support of the Rack And Pinion, and to remove the mounting bolts. Lower the unit, disconnect the intermediate shaft from the Rack And Pinion input shaft and take the Rack And Pinion out of the car. For installation, lift the Rack And Pinion into position, joint the interconnecting shaft with its corresponding marked surface and secure with the connecting bolts and washers and tighten with the required torque values. Place the Pitman arm onto the shaft with the similar marks, then fit the washer & nut then proceed to tighten the nut, but to the manufacturers recommended torque. Place the intermediate shaft lower pinch bolt and torque it, join the power steering connectors to the Rack And Pinion, and fill the power steering pump tank with the right grade of the fluid. Last but not the least, lower the vehicle and bleed the steering system.
