Steering Rack plumbing

[milothepeanut]

I just got my rack back from Kiley Clinton but I cant remember what pipe goes where duh.
Any help would be appreciated.

The old hose in the picture, that comes from the pas pump, goes into the bottom of two holes plugged by the red stoppers

[I replaced the old hose as well]

Thanks you for that. My plugs are yellow lol.
So is the other one a rubber pipe that goes up front and into the wing?

Np,

Yes, the upper one is for the low pressure feed from the reservoir and the push on brass fitting goes in there and is fixed with a jubilee clip.

Refit without the tierod ends.
Make sure the rack is centred.
Line the upper UJ up with the steering column so that the corners/notchs don't catch on the uj and do this before you tighten the four bolts that fix the rack to the chassis!

It's hoor of a job

When I done mine I had a right time doing the pump pipe up onto the valve body. Ended up grinding a spanner down to help.

There is no easy way to counterhold the rack bar when fitting/removing the tie rods, so make absolutely sure the rack IS NOT CENTRED when you fit/remove them.
