Changed the rack over on my 2WD but I'm trying to get the coupling that goes from the column to the rack off at the rack end. I've slackened off the bolt on the bracket of the coupling that tightens around the splined shaft on the rack, and hit it with a hammer, it looks like it should just slide off???It's pretty rusty so i've put some plus gas on it, but is there a pin or anything that holds this together that I'm not seeing???

the bolt holds it in situ, remove the bolt, it will slide off

let me see if i can find a pic of what it looks like to save your gas and sanity

this is why you need to remove the bolt mate



and this is what the end of the shft looks like



so the bolt, even if it's loose, won't mean the stering ssafted

Doh.....! Cheers, so it's like a ball joint, there's a profile for the bolt to go through, got it! Ah well, all that's left to do now is put the coupling on the car and the pipes and put on the track rod ends, shouldn't take long at all. Thanks for the help my man!!!!!
