So i was doing a powersteering overhaul, installed everything, no powersteering still, currently installing a rack doctor pinion and rack, i took out everything smoothly but i ran into a problem, i took out both nuts for the coupler connecting the rack to the column, and it came out with the old rack, and then removed the coupler from the old rack without taking measurements to where it would line up, so now i’m struggling to connect my coupler to my new rack because for one it won’t budge into place, i’ve tried lubing but it won’t budge past a certain point, and now i’m not sure how far it was in the column and the rack, i know i’m stupid and i keep digging myself in a bigger hole, i’m on the verge of either having a mechanic finish it or taking out the column itself and squishing everything together. thoughts opinions will help out greatly,
Have you had any luck with this?
