I’m pretty sure that there steering rack belongs somewhere under the car…

Day 1 of the steering rack adventure is complete. Without making too much of a mess, I managed to get all of the hoses off, fluid drained, and the old rack removed. The tie-rod links proved to be a pain, but after much wrangling, the whole thing finally came out.

If installation is the reverse of removal, do I have to bust my knuckles and pinch my fingers in the same places as I put it back together?
