Removing the steering rack

Post by Scotland1969 »

Hi
I need some help removing the steering rack, I've read the guide and Haynes manual and I can't get anything on the bolt to remove the clamp that holds the pipes on the rack. Can anyone suggest anything?

I don't know that I understand the problem, but reading the Service Box procedure, it does say:

Remove the subframe to body securing bolts ( 7).
Move aside the sub-frame from the body by 80 mm.

It doesn't explain why you need to move the subframe aside, but might that give better clearance to reach the clamp bolts?
