Park the vehicle with the wheels pointing straight ahead. Loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Apply the parking brake. Remove the wheels. Detach the tie-rod ends from the steering knuckles. Mark the relationship of the intermediate shaft coupler to the rack and pinion input shaft, remove the pinch bolt and separate the coupler from the input shaft. Position a drain pan under the rack and pinion. Using a flare-nut wrench, disconnect the power steering pressure and return lines from the rack and pinion. Cap the lines to prevent leakage. Remove the mounting fasteners and then remove the rack and pinion. Inspect all rubber bushings for wear and damage. If any of the rubber parts are cracked, torn or generally deteriorated, replace them. Installation is the reverse of removal, noting the following points: Tighten the rack and pinion mounting bolts and the lower coupler pinch bolt. Tighten the wheel lug nuts. Check the power steering fluid level and add some, if necessary. Bleed the system. Re-check the power steering fluid level.
