Any tips on replacing Rack & Pinion on 86 1/2 Supra

It's a real tight fit, and before you remove the old rack and pinion you need to either take a picture with you camera, or a very good mental picture. After getting the new rack and pinion bolted in, I had to remove it because the lines weren't on the correct side of it. Also, take a look at the bracket, for the stablizer bar, on the new rack and pinion to make sure it matches where it is on the old one. If it's not in the right location, it can be turned to the proper location with a pipe wrench. It's best to attach the lines first, before sliding the rack and pinion in place. The last thing to bolt up is the steering.
