Default Re: AU Power Steering Switch removal

The crows foot was made for tight spots like this or for attaching onto the end of torque wrenches. You would just put an extension arm on it and then attach your ratchet.

Getting the rack out -
Remove fluid lines from rack and drain the system.
Loosen the 2x14mm bolts on the exhaust manifold.
Remove anti roll bar
Undo tie rod ends 18mm and use a puller or dead hammer blow to release the tie rod ball joint.
Lock steering and take a measurement from a fixed point on the rack to the tie rod.
Remove the two bolts holding the intermediate shaft on and pry it off the pinion.
Remove two 19mm bolts holding the rack on and then you can get to the power steering switch.
