What a ball ache... Don't want to do another soon.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I did a duck, it was a bugger.

I've changed a rack, it's not that hard!

Especially with no engine or front frame in place *happy*

unfortunatly they are a pita,

undo all engine tie rods,
undo brake pipe to subframe, drop exhaust,
remove carb (iirc)
remove shocks
undo subrame mounts and drop subby 2-3"
piss about with the rack for a while,
put every thing back...

remove clutch slave cylinder but it you have the long goodridge hose there is enough space
remove steering column..
I had to remove the remote gear change too.

oh on another note, you might as well get new column bushes. I did the top and bottom and get a new rack pinion seal...

I did mine in about an hour, dropped the rear mounts and tower bolts, then got a great big scaffold tube, undid the u bolts and out it came. Then again I was rushing to get it back on the road after snapping the rack, shattered the top ball joint, bent the bottom arm and tie bar, bent the steering arm, popped the driveshaft out of the pot joint and cracked both front alloys (didn't quite make it round the roundabout lol)
