were did you get this kit from mine is missing the parts you installed a 534 minutes into your vid on that worn gear nut . the outer seal and the inner seal and teflon seal .thanks
I love cars like that, easy rack and pinion bushing remplacment and also easy rack and pinion replacement, some cars are pain in the back, you have to remove a lot of parts, and may be the whole fram to just replace the rack and pinion or just their bushing.
Should not use greese on organic compounds like rubber, it dissolves the rubber. Stuff like slicone greese is more ideal. If its a silicone bushing then normal greese is fine.
i made the mistake of doing it myself in a driveway and getting it out from the bottom, what i bolitch it was but i did it in 3 1/2 hours i did it myself in my driveway with not all the right tools but i managed to do it mine was particularly stressful because the previous owner had the exhaust done and it had a lip on it that i was fighting i had no choice but to just pull the steering rack lines out of the way and i finally go it out then i had my dad hold the new one in place from the side as i tightened the bolts from the bottom everything was plug and play but god damn fuck that sway bar i fraught it bad to get it back on
I’m following this but I’ve pulled my pitman arm off and now I’m wondering how you know where it’s supposed to go back on? Like how do you figure out which splines on the shaft are the correct orientation for it?
Some hydraulic jacks have kerosene as an additive to the hydraulic oil. Welding to the jack can cause an explosion. Just saying. I know how old this video is just a warning to anyone that might try this.
I didn’t take the bracket off yet on bell housing, I didn’t think about it helping to get to top bolt. That top mf bolt is a bitch! And still in there, so gonna take bracket off tomorrow after work and see if I can get it off. Video was great btw!
What’s up brother I know this is a 5yr old video hopefully you’re still active here. If your here is there a way I can contact you about question about the swap? I know there’s forums and whatnot to do research but if I could get your input and knowledge also would make life a little easier for the swap
Yep you're right we'd all be cringing at you about right now 🤣🤣 Yes I would have done it the very same way wouldn't give it rats you know what when anybody taught as long as it works and doesn't damage it however I did notice you forgot the oil the seal before installing it.
