Power Steering Rack Help

[Billybob9187]

Looks like my shafts on the reman rack I bought 6 months ago are on the wrong side. Does anyone have any advice or recommended tools/methods to swap these over. Looks like there just joints but I don't know if the have the same removal method of a half shaft on a cv axle.

It looks like you have two different style racks. One is the early style with the non PPS and the other is the later style with the PPS.

What year is your Supra?

There both PPS because i removed the module from the lower one (origonal) and installed it on the top one (new). They seem to be the same but the half shafts are on the opposite sides. I have a 91 turbo.

it looks like one rack was removed turned all the way in one direction and the other one is turned all the way in the other direction...

I think your right as I was looking at it last night but "My Life" is getting in the way from me verifying this. I will try again and report back my findings.

Yeah I don't see any issue with the rack being reversed.

Although the hardlines across the center of the rack look bent all to shit.
They don't follow the correct path.

You are going to need new inner tie rod lock washers if the new rack didn't come with them.
A narrow crows foot open end or a narrow (width) open end wrench.
There isn't much room to loosen/tighten on the flats of the inner tie rod.
Could use the pipe wrench trick also.
