nicebutdim Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 If I remember correctly you may have to drop the subframe a little to get it out. I had to on mine when the track rod end was seized on. Quote

nicebutdim Posted June 1, 2012 Report Posted June 1, 2012 Just be sure it is well supported under there. It's still a job as you have to manipulate it off the steering shaft and then wiggle it out. It is also recommended to replace the subframe bolts too as they are stretch bolts. And they're all that hold all the front end together (steering and front wheel wise). Quote
cyborg Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 hi there,Follow the steering rack inside car to the carpet and fold back carpet there's a bolt under the carpet, make sure you've undone this ! Quote
