Re: power steering removal

You don't "have to"; but having that thing out of the way SURE DOES make all the other easier. 2 minutes removing it and 3 minutes putting it back is worth the half-hour of it fighting you every step of the way.

Leave the lines connected of course; just take out the 4 bolts and rotate it up out of the way over toward the right front of the car. Tie it back with some coat hanger wire or something if necessary.
