Message	I'm not following you. You are saying to disconnect the tie rods, but do I leave the rack connected to the cross member? If so, I think I'd need to disconnect the fluid lines to the rack. Is that what you meant? Or did you mean separate the rack from the cross member? Also, most folks don't say you have to completely drop the cross member, so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. I can see it being much easier if I didn't have AC or didn't have the transmission plate between the engine and tranny. Then I'd have an extra inch of room to work with and wouldn't have to pull and pry the cross member forward.
