is it hard to access the upper pinch bolt on the steering shaft? and did you take any precautions to keep the steering wheel in the same position? Sorry for all the questions as ive never had to deal with steering rack issues before 😬

No, loosen the pinch bolt and steering shaft stays, the steering rack n pinion gets removed to replace seals.

Only one concern, the steering shaft was extremely difficult to put back in but i believe i got it seated and it is now tightened. |

Sorry to hear. It’s possible to damage or roll the seal lip during install. Are you sure non of that happen. If not resolved I can see it being a huge hassle.

I am positive it was jnstalled correctly. i just picked up another rack and am going to go through and replace all the seals before installing. waiting for hardware and another pinion shaft seal from eai. you used the EAI 20x30x5 oil seal correct? I used it to replace my pinion shaft seal the first time.

Is the new rack clocked correctly and try expanding the steering shaft input side with a screw driver.
