Zilvia FREAK!

At last, depowered the rack.
While back I disconnected the PS system. I kept the pully/pump for a belt tensioner, but removed everything else and looped the lines. Wasnt too bad, but I was conserned about the steering linkeage getting too worn.
I was worried about the splines stripping on the linkeage, so my mission was to de-power the rack. I've only found 1 writeup on the web -a Miata. After 2 days its done, some fine tuning and wow, night and day difference. I removed the rack and pinion; Everything was a bitch to get off. Nissan made sure you needed proper tools for this. 1st problem was the torx bolts. I used an 8mm socket. After drilling out the punch and finally getting the rack taken apart, I was dripping in sweat and blood. Got the pinion out, removed the center seal Got some Amsoil grease, new Moog tie rods, and put her back together. I cut all the lines and crimped them because its not needed. After install, there is a Tensioner type thing that holds the pinion steady, I had to loosen that a bit, but its spring activated so there is still some light tension. Finally a PS/manual setup that semi rivals a FWD car. I love it. Quote:
