A: To remove the rack and pinion, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Then, loosen the front wheel lug nuts and apply the parking brake while blocking the rear wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Next, raise the front of the vehicle and secure it on jackstands. Remove the front wheels and disconnect the steering column intermediate shaft pinch bolt at the rack and pinion, separating the shaft from the gear. Disconnect any electrical connectors and detach the power steering line fittings from the rack and pinion, making sure to mark their positions. Then, detach the tie-rod ends from the Steering Knuckles. Support the rear of the subframe with a floor jack and loosen the rear subframe-to-body bolts, but do not remove them. Slowly lower the jack to gain access to the rack and pinion mounting bolts. If there is a heat shield, remove it. Finally, remove the rack and pinion mounting bolts and slide the rack and pinion assembly out through the left wheel well. To install, reverse the removal steps, tightening the fasteners to the specified torque. Bleed the steering system and have the front-end alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.
