rack and pinion - special tools

steedastangt · Sep 10, 2009

Hey,

Do I need any special tools to remove and replace the R&P? Like taking the tie rods off? I found a remanufactured R&P from Orielly's for $102. Do i need anything special to transfer the outer tie rods to the new unit. Might get new tie rods while I am at it anyway. After install does it self bleed?

Thanks in advance

The only special tool you would need if you want to save your tie rods,is a tie rod remover....

Other then that,you basic tools will do the job.
As for bleeding the system,the air will eventually bleed itself off,if memory serves me well,been awhile,...just turn the steering wheel side to side a few times.

i took my rack off a few months back to change the busching, its simple, and turning the wheel back and forth lock to lock will get the air out.....
