Power steering? Who needs it.

Removing the power from my power steering rack. I used a box on the floor so as not to make a giant mess of the work bench.



First things first, I pulled the supply, return, and crossover lines off the rack.





Then I pulled the bellows boots of to expose the inner tie rods, and the rack piston.



Then I pulled the cap off the steering shaft. I was careful not to damge the bearing in the cap.





Then I pulled the rear cap to remove the pressure relieve valve.





At this point I called it a day. I failed to bring home the proper tools to remove the inner tie rods, and the end cap from the rack. Without them I cannot dissasemble the rack further, and it will have to wait for another day.
