can any one help?

 

ttt

 

nobody here has done this?

 

never done it but it can't be that hard. just look at both cars and switch over everythign from the PS car to the non PS car.

 

it's pretty straight forward... pull out the rack, line(s), pump, pump bracket, reservoir, swap them out, and youre done. it's also a good idea to have a front end alignment done since youll be messing with the tie rod ends. just beware, with a lot of cars i've noticed that you have to drop the cradle down to unbolt the rack. if you do this, i HIGHLY recommend you have a lift available to you... it will make the job much easier, and less dangerous.
