Piece of cake getting the old rack/lines out. ****ing amazon sent me the wrong return line though, so the install can wait til the weekend.

Anybody have a picture of the hose routing?
03-10-2018
i really dont recall at all. but the two lines will only fit up there in one orientation.
if your under the car looking up at the rack you need to put the higher up hose on first, then the lower one, no way to mix then up and it seem to fit right.

Yeah I got them on there, just wanted to double check.
On another note, pretty sure I'm gonna have to pull newly installed rack out tomorrow. My retarded self didn't turn the pinion gear so the tie rods are sticking out different lengths on each end.
03-10-2018
measure how far the end of the inner rod is from a fixed point on the old rack, then move the new one to the same measurement.

and that nub on the rack has to be facing the right way so the bolt will fit in there.
03-10-2018
Did that, but didn't even think about the tie rods. Was just sitting here watching TV and had an "oh ****" moment lol.
03-10-2018
what about em? the lock nut? if you left the old ones on, measure the nit to the end, swap that number over
03-10-2018
and you need to bleed the air out the rack. wheels off the ground turn lock to lock 15 times, top off the res as needed.
03-10-2018
No, the rack was shipped with the inner tie rods off center, so one side is sticking out further than the other.

Think it needs to come out to turn the nub or is there enough room if I drop the subframe?
03-10-2018
drop the frame and turn it with a adjustable wrench.
or, you could turn the steering wheel till its right, then drop the frame split the shaft off and turn the wheel back. make sure you know how far you went so you can turn it back or the clock spring can break on ya.

So I can no longer recommend Detroit Rack and Pinion. The rack lasted year and a year and a half and about 15k. Contacted them for a warranty and ignored my contacts. No response. Thanks Detroit! Not! So I ended up with a AcDelco reman from Carid second time around. Not a fun job I want to do again and no support for the warranty. Disappointing... On a side note the AcDelco reman rack is so smooth and quiet!

Good that you finally got it sorted out. My reman Delco rack is still going strong after 5 years so I'm not going to complain.
