Re: remove steering rack from 2001 caravan

underneath from the bac and you should use a 18mm flarenut crowfoot wrench

the hard part is getting te pin out of the steering shaft and then bac in
i use a special tool i made that fits the pin hole and stops when the
right depth is reached so the pin is not driven all the way out and it
used in a air hammer that i bought that is very small and gets right in
there. the air hammer is made by campbell-hausfield and was 20 bucs

I have a 2001 dodge caravan with a 3.3L V6 that needs a new steering
rack. If anyone on this group has done this replacement, how did you
access the two hydraulic lines attached to the steering rack to remove
them? They look like standard flare fittings. Everything else seems
straightforward for this repair but I don't see a way to reach these
fittings without taking out other components. The Chilton manual was
no help. TIA.
