I posted a few weeks ago about replacing the front cross member because of damage from daughter meeting a curb in the snow. Well I am tearing it down and stumped as to disconnect the steering wheel shaft from the rack. If any body has any hints they would be most appreciated. It's a 92 with power steering. Seems so far as the only damage is the cross member, maybe we got lucky.

Thanks again,

Start with disconnecting you PS fluid lines and drain them

 

That is done already, the only thing holding the rack on is the steering colum at the rack.

 

Found the connection to the steering rack, the universal joint is located under the brake pedal in the cabin. One has remove the bolt from the clamp to allow the rack shaft to drop down and out.
