I am attempting to replace the steering rack. It puked a bunch of power steering fluid out of the cracked boot when I turned the front wheels to get at the caliper mounting bolts for a brake job. I have 4 of the 5 mounting bolts out. Need help getting the bottom right bolt out. I don't seem to be able to get the right wrench combination to turn the bolt. The only solution I can see is to remove the Y exhaust pipe. Is there another trick? I don't own any of those crowfoot wrenches, but I will go get some if somebody thinks that will allow me to get it off.

 

uhh, should have removed y-pipe. the bolt should come off without to much trouble. When i did it, it was kinda of a PITA but just keep trying.

 

Thanks. I definetly agree with the PITA. I did end up removing the Y pipe. Seperating the quill shaft connection also turned out to be challenging. I have it loose now, just need to figure out how to snake it out the hole. I hope assembly is a lot easier.

 

I pulled one out of a VE from the driversside wheel well. You have to lift the passenger side of it and on the driverside pull it down and out.
