Reprinted your instructions for replacement of rack and pinion on the van listed above. do you know approximately how long it takes to do the job? the question i have is the line on the rack and pinion connected in the center of the rack and pinion is leaking. can the power steering lines be replaced with out removing the rack and pinion? do you have instructions on how to do that would be? appreciated. thanks, Jimbo

Most all lines can be repaired/replaced on the rack but you may have to get a bulk line and bend it yourself depending what line it is. Can you get a picture of the line and that will help us fine which one you need? Thanks
