go into the car under the dash. Look for the rubber boot that the steering column goes into and through the firewall. Remove the boot and you will see a pinch bolt holding the column to the rack. Remove the bolt and you should be able to separate the two.

Make sure you have the driver side tie rod end removed and the steering wheel turned all the way to the left. This will help when maneuvering the rack out of the subframe.

Its one of the four mounting bolts that hold the whole assembly to the sub frame but there are only 2 on the drivers side the ones on the actual control pump and its the bolt that is furthest away from the engine ??
