Hello,

In order to remove the rack and pinion, there are few other components need to be removed. Both fender liners, engine splash guard, motor mount, disconnect propeller shaft.

It will be required to re-program the steering angle sensor, which will require a special scan tool.

There are no required special hand tools for this task. You will just need basic hand tools like different size wrenches and sockets, along with breaker bars.


I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
