my gf slid off the road last winter in a 94 sixxer...the steering rack and pinion is bent so i need to replace it...its sold complete with tie rods

how do i do this?

it keeps getting worse and now its almost undriveable

 

I'm pretty sure it's similar to the GT's. The steering rack should be in the front. Just lock the steering wheel in place, disconnect the steering shaft, disconnect the lines, disconnect the tie rods, take off the bolts (or nuts, I forgot which), and it should be out.

When you finish putting the new one in, fill up the P/S reservoir, then with the wheels still up in the air, turn the key on with the engine off, turn the steering wheel all the way in both directions a few times. This helps quicken the bleeding process before the pump is actually running, and reduces bubbling in the reservoir while bleeding.

Then turn the engine on. It'll make some horrible noises at first, don't worry. That'll go away if you did it right. Now just turn the wheel back and forth all the way a few times, check the p/s fluid, add some if needed, and keep doing that until the noises go away.

 

thanks a bunch man...never changed mine, but i did the bushings so i had a clue on how to do it, and you gave a way better explanation than Mitchell (the program)

 

yeah he nailed it. thats all you gotta do to it
