SD> Rack & Pinnion replacement Question
Drop the steering column, that's what i've done with all my cars, it's only 4 bolts, and 1 piece of plastic to take off!

I have reached step 4 in the factory service manual - "removing crossmember". I have removed all four bolts and have the K-frame supported by a jack. The question I have is what is the easiest way to disconect the steering column from the steering gear?

I asked a member about this on my '87 once. I think he said they stopped using clips to hold it after '85 Ean www.thebluebaron.homestead.com '87 Chrysler LeBaron coupe (The Blue Baron) '89 Chrysler LeBaron coupe (Christine) '02 Chrysler Neon LX (Lex) ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

Re: SD> Rack & Pinnion replacement Question
Matt, I had a similar problem with my 86 turbo Z. I thought the rack was held to the column with a bolt or clip too, but it wasn't. What I did was position a couple jackstands just below the K-Frame and tapped a little bit on the contol arms with a hammer and it just wiggled out. When I knocked it loose, it fell just a little bit onto the jackstands instead of all the way to the ground. I saw Bob's post on bungee cording the new rack up there and I wish I had seen that when I did mine! I ended up removing the column from inside the car and lining it up that way, which was a bit PITA but it got it done.
