A DOG Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I got the rear done, but now going on to the front how do I get the steering shaft off? I took off the 12mm bolts on the part where the shaft comes down and joins with the other shorter shaft. It moves a little but not enough to get out. Do i replace the short shaft that goes in to the steering rack or do I replace the shaft that you can see from looking down. please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 the shorter shaft is the one that get's replaced(lengthened). I've done it a couple of different ways.... 1. loosen up both sides of the connector so that it can slide both ways. I usually use a big screw driver to widen out the connector (both sides). slide the connector down as far as possible onto the short shaft, and take it off the upper shaft first. 2. take off the nuts/bolts that hold the rag joint onto the rack first, then swing the bottom of the short shaft out, and take out of the connector... You can also loosen the steering column nuts under the dash to give it some more play.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A DOG Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 thanks. Also where is the engine stabilizer bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 that's the pitching stopper. It's the long rod that has a bushing at one end, threads on the other. connects to a bolt under the spare tire tray, and into a bracket bolted to the top of the bell housing.... you can see it here underneath my intake tube... http://usmb.net/gallery/album238/PDC_0078 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
