You will have to unbolt the fron dif on the passenger side and support it some so you can have the wiggle room to pull the unit out. |

FYI - phxtoad put new bushings in without pulling the rack http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=504479#p504479 and then a quick comment about pulling it. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=478913#p478913 I think the book is 8-12 hours including pulling the front diff - tjkj2002 did one in a Moab campground in ~4 hours - by the wiggle steering rack around (he described it somewhere - but I didn't find that post) |

Correction - not new bushings. Just some temporary rubber washers, but it does the trick for now. Here's Troy's write-up from over on KJCountry. http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36987&highlight=steering+rack |

We didn't get the rack out on Sunday ( quite a few misadventures) but, we did install some nolathane washers at the top of the steering rack bolts, that is a good band-aide till we have another go. cmohr |
