^^^ with patience and positioning, out the pass side wheel well

Specifically ...

-Rotate the steering rack forward and push back so the cross member mounts drop behind the cross member
-Push the drivers side tie rod all the way in
-Fish the steering rack out the passenger side wheel well. The drivers side tie rod will have to be moved occasionally. When the steering rack input shaft is near the front diff mount the rack will need to swing towards the front of the vehicle and the drivers side tie rod will pass under the oil pan and trans cooler lines.


Good Luck!

thank you so much for the feed back but after taking off allot of stuff I got it out the driver wheel well. so in order to put the new one back in I have to go threw the passenger side to get it back in?
