Power steering rack install

[eamo]

my 320 has a manual rack which I have just removed. i have just got a pas rack with pump, resevoir and pipes

can someone tell me what if any other parts I need and how do i go about installing it? Any diagrams or writeups?

thansk

very easy to fit fella

reverse what you did to remove the manual rack

is everything still atatched to your new rack ?
ie res bottle pipes etc etc??

[dazleeds]

just looked at mine for a reminder

the pipes from rack to res feed up behind the engine mount then then the 2pipes from res to pump feed over eng mnt to front and under the expansion bottle bottom pipe

looks a bit awkward to feed it but just look at it and have a few tries youll get it right fella

dnt forget to bleed rack with wheels off ground and expect a lot of frothy fluid at first have a rag handy in case it spills over

good luck

this may help
