I am rebuilding a 92 GT rack and pinion. I am at the point of removing the tie rods from the rack. Instructions say it has a spiral pin. Fiest there are two holes in the piece that holes the tie rod on. One looks to be drilled with a taper at the bottom. The other has some sort of aluminum 'keeper" on one side of the hole. I have used enough force that I should have removed a spiral pin but no success. Is there some type of lock holding the pin in ? Is the spiral pin in a bottom hole? What does it take to remove the spiral pin?.

You are talking about removing the tie rod ends from the actual steering rack? If so, they are blind roll pins inserted into the tie rod end to hold them in place. In the past, I've typically just used a large wrench and turned the tie rod ends off, breaking the roll pin. You can alo drill them out. The SN95 and modern steering racks typically don't use these anymore.
