Is it neccessary to remove the fluid lines to drop/push across the steering rack so i can remove extractors? I'm kinda hoping i don't have to drain the fluid.
Nah. Just undo the two large vertical bolts that hold it to the front K frame. You may also need to undo it from the steering column which is also quite easy. From there slide it off the mount (pull it straight back) and it will dangle quite happily. Reaper
when i did mine i just took the two bolts out from the k frame on the steering rack and just let it dangle down a little bit its tight but you can do it also try undoing the engine mounts and jack up the engine a bit
