Re: [DML] Replacing Delorean Steering Rack

[Japheth Deaux <secret_jedi_guy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Speaking from experience since I just replaced my
steering rack in July,  I would say that it is a
medium difficulty.  Mechanically it is not that
complex since there is no power steering pumps and
stuff to worry about.

It is best to put the car on a level surface and raise
it on jack stands.  You will deffinately want to
replace the tie rod ends as well unless the rubber
boots are still in good condition on them.

The difficulty involved comes with the loosening of 25
year old stuck parts.  GET A LOT OF PB BLASTER.  As
for the steps on how to remove and replace the old one
I will  refer you to this link.  Everything you need
to know is there and stepped out in order.  Have a
friend help as well.  whenever working under a car
always do it in pairs

Good luck
