This is just a quick video on what made it easier for me to put in this power steering rack, I am just a DIY'er, sorry for the quality, although I have done a lot of home mechanics, this is my first auto mechanic upload, and this rack turned out to be a great challenge.
I hope it helps you.
Also an update, in the video I say to remove lower radiator hose, actually just remove the hose at radiator, then push up and out of your way, you don't need to remove the hose completely unless it makes it easier for you.
Thanks.

Power steering cooler line, not a pressure line when it's on the return side of the system. Thanks for the upload.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks this was spot on, Only thing to add is turning the steering gear input shaft left and right when trying to remove it helped a lot. ( only realized this after fighting with it and finding procedure online)

Thanks for watching and the tip, everything someone adds helps the next person. It's a lot of work but very satisfying when you do it yourself

I laid under my Ranger for 20 minutes contemplating this nightmare... are the end seals serviceable or will I need to replace the entire rack? Mine are leaking at the ends.

@rockgnomemusicanddiy4670 Год назад

They can be serviced, but I decided just to get a rebuilt rack, only because I didn't want to take a chance of having leaks, from what I was getting is that a lot of times after servicing they will leak anyway. I ended up buying a rebuilt through Orielly's the price was not to bad, and it actually ended up having a bit of a problem down the road, they replaced it free of charge. Hope this helps.

I didn't know you could service just the end seals. I was told I had to replace the whole rack.

Can you do the bushings without removing the unit?

@rockgnomemusicanddiy4670 2 года назад

Hello That I do not know, when I did this I pulled everything out, I do know that when I have done bushings on other vehicles I did not have to pull the rack, but if you are talking about the sway bar then no, you should not have to. Hope this helps
