I'd like to hear from anyone who has replaced the rack & pinion in a 1st generation LH car. I've read the procedure, but would like to hear from someone with first-hand experience. How difficult was it? Roughly how long did it take? Thanks!
It's Swifty! Swifty, you toad sucker!

Thank you for the reply. The service manual procedure says to remove the shift cable and also a "travel sensor" on the brake booster. Are these steps necessary?

The travel sensor is if I remember right ABS only and and I don't remember ever removing one, so I can't answer that one. BUT, It might be best to do so, for a newbie to avoid breaking parts.
Best I remember , Shift cable can be left in and just run the rack all the way to the pass side. Once done there is a rubber boot on the ends of the rack itself that can be folded in to gain clearence.
Also, I usually remove the tie rod ends at the ceneter attaching point on the rack to ease in removal and install. So that may be why I get them out without removing the shift cable.
