Message I've got a used power steering rack that I've been slowly taking apart and cleaning up. I'm to the point in the FSM where I'm supposed to drill out some staking and then unscrew the nut-like retainer on the passenger side of the rack.

FSM indicates the staking should be punch like about 1mm or so from the end on cylindrical housing. Only staking I could find was more similar to that which would be caused by a flat screwdriver. It was located right on the end of the housing. I used a cutting wheel to remove the staking to the best of my abilities. The nut now rotates but only so far then is seizes up like the staking is still there. I've clamped the rack down (as best I can) and I've taken a breaker bar to the nut with no success. Anyone run into this?
