So I have a looped rack and I do like it but for curiosity sake I wanted to try a depowered rack. I found a scrapped '96 at a junkyard with the engine pulled so pulling a spare steering rack was a breeze for my '98. Snagged her real cheap.

I took the valve housing off of the steering rack and have been trying to figure this out for some time. Does the pinion have to be pressed out of the valve housing or is there something I'm missing. I wanted to see what was in there in terms of seals I can remove. Thanks in advance.

Maybe this will help...

Informative for what is inside the valve housing but I still am not sure how to disconnect the valve housing from the pinion. Not sure if it needs to be pressed out with a machine or if it needs to be chiseled in a certain spot.

Thanks though, appreciate it.

This is for a G2, but I will assume it will be pretty much the same for a G3...

It's different unfortunately. The pinion goes through the housing and there's multiple o-rings inside that sit around the pinion. There's no way to open the housing from the outside, no bolts, nada. I can just sorta wiggle the ball bearing on one end and the other side of the pinion/housing seems pretty tight and doesn't move.

You'd think for a technology that hasn't changed much since the dawn of it's time they'd make a standard for this procedure.
