Hi,
I just went into the manual and found the directions. However, I feel they are very vague. Do me a favor. Take a look through them and let me know if they help.
Also, if you have other questions, let me know that as well.
Just a note: (not listed in the directions). Disconnect the battery, lock the steering wheel in the straightforward position, do not allow the steering wheel to be turned while the rack is disconnected, bleed the new rack before starting the engine, the vehicle should be aligned after the repair is complete.
Let me know if you have questions.
Take care,
joe
