As an automotive ASE Master Tech since 1978, now retired, you are a younger tech who has mastered this procedure on the rack and pinion type used. I am proud to see proper procedures, tools and the shop made stuff that works. We all have simple to perhaps more complex tools in our tool box somewhere over time. Working in straight axles replacing king pins, bushings, then reeming to fit and that special large bearing, to recirculating ball gear boxes then bunches of steering racks on GM’s. First, the black seals, then green and finally the harder Teflon versions. For a period on time, stainless steel thin sleeves where pressed into the control head. At some point, I think they changed the alloy and still use the Teflon seals. Great job on the workmanship and your attention to the viewers, from a retired ASE Master Tech. Job well done!
Jgizzy -redacted- probably a good reason to get a Russian to do it for ya ....or an ole mechanic who knows how to “adapt n improvise”. A couple of us did this in Cambodia back in ‘75while out in the middle of nowhere but had tools from the maintenance unit tools from motor pool..... just sayin. !!! Wouldn’t do it again if I have 300-400 bucks to buy one and prey the dude who rebuilt it knew what he was doin ... RDL. . PJ Class of 1974
Great video I repair rack and pinions for a living in the US and buddy tools have came along way ..like seal pullers and Teflon ring reducers so you don't have to stretch with fingers ..I use a pick and if the get alil stretched out the reducers will tighten them right back up.. keep up the good work I have thousands of rack and pinion units under my belt
Nice rebuild, one of the cleanest I've ever seen. Anyways it's my job also, but I love watching others to learn more because no one knows it all. Thanks for this great video.
I learned an ecellent idea from you. Today, I just finished rebuilding/ overhauling the hydraulic power steering rack of my mitsubishi car by following your video. So helpful. thank you.
hey man i really like the way you dissasemble and assemble the rack and pinion. you really show the components in every part you assemble at the same time tricks or gimmicks in where it can be done on your own man. really hoping for a lot of tutorials about cars system. more power to your channel man.
Amazing, thank you! Wish I had found this earlier as I pulled apart my 2005 Hyundai Elantra and had lots of trouble. The power steering rack design is almost identical!
This is by far the best and most informative video of removing and installing parts i've ever seen. Hope all your future vids are like this. Thank a lot and God bless. Always stay safe..
I have rebuilt a few Holden Commodore power steering racks right from a 1988 to a 2002 model which are basically all Kirby-Bishop power steering racks so I used the same information to rebuild them,the differences between how Holden & Toyota say to do it is like this :- - The Teflon seals should be soaked in boiling hot water to expand the seals so they can be easily fitted -The power steering rack teeth must be centralised & the pinion gear needs to be timed so that the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position - The rack pad adjusting screw is to be set at 12 Newton Metres of torque then backed off by 30° or 1/2 a flat of the hex shape in the middle of the rack pad adjusting screw while the rack pad & pinion gear is timed & centralised. - The kit comes with new O rings so I replace the O ring for the torsion rod which is held in place to the pinion input shaft by a 4 millimetre diameter of Dowel pin,I replace all the O rings on the pinion (spool) valve assembly I used an old beer bottle to stretch the Teflon seals out a bit over the neck of the bottle & I used the plastic off a soft drink bottle when fitting the new Teflon seals to prevent them from getting damaged, that's happened on a couple of power steering racks that I rebuilt. I test the power steering racks before fitting the tie rods because I need to make sure that it won't leak,Holden didn't tell me to fit them beforehand. It would be a similar procedure for the power steering racks in the Australian built Fords who sourced their power steering racks from the same supplier. It's a bit like when Dana bought Borg Warner out in Australia,the procedure for rear differential overhaul pretty much remained the same !
Thank you,sir.Very nice work.Excellent instruction for any regular guy or gal who may be considering doing such a rebuild.But,like you, I agree it is a better option to obtain refurbished or new.Thanks.
Probably because he puts steering fluid in the pinion housing, which will degrade the grease that is supposed to be there (that area should never see PSF), and the fact he uses vice grips on the splines repeatedly (a piece of leather or some tape on the vice grip jaws would make that unnecessary, assuming you don't just turn it by hand). He also doesn't count the number of turns needed to remove the tie rod ends so he knows how to position the new ones. That last one is the least critical, as it just means you spend more time doing the alignment. It is a very helpful video overall, so I wouldn't downvote it. Including a few ways to potentially ruin your steering rack is reason enough for many people to downvote it, though.
And many thanks for sparing us from noise/musak; great video,man ( the only thing,you could also have measured for us the 8 mm bar you used to turrn and coil in, the retaining wire and the rack stopper, in its transversal dimension; it actually needs not be 8 mm; 4 or 6 mm is ok too) Big thanks.
Not for the faint of heart to take this on! My Ranger is so hard to steer it’s given me shoulder and back problems, so I’m looking for another vehicle! Changed the pump, flushed the system, didn’t help. Thanks for sharing!
Very helpful and interesting video. Thank you Man. Like. I have problems with my car (steering) ... And was trying to know what is the problem and fix it . Thanks you.
Přínosné video, děkuji za něj! Ale měl bych pár výhrad například k nasazování O-kroužků. V dnešní době 3D tiskáren bych si vyrobil kužel a jednoduše kroužky navlékl bez nutnosti roztahování, které, si myslím, není zrovna vhodné. Dále je nutné kroužky a hřídelová těsnění mazat, aby se nasazováním nepoškodila a šla snadněji instalovat. Ale jinak ještě jednoho děkuji za ukázku přestavby!😊

Thanks for not using fast forward and not skipping any steps on the video. Very good guide.
finally someone who pays attention to details
BY FAR the best demonstration on how to rebuild a modern steering rack and pinion. Great job!

I agree with this impression. No music distractions throughout. Good presentation
Hands down the best video on CZcams on how to rebuild a steering rack.
Thanks.

Bless you sir. The world need more trades men!
But that is shade tree/third world rebuilding....a true budget build
This has got to be one of the best videos on rebuilding PS rack!
yes i think so
I don't even work on these models of rack but must say the quality of this video is excellent. Lots of detail, and no stupid music. Thanks.
Am a steering engineer by profession I work and repair all kinds of steering pump and racks
One of the best, cleanest and well organised steering rack rebuild I've seen in youtube. Kudos 👍👍👍
I never have see Kudos .How can I see or find Kudos.
Kudos
Kudos
Nice rebuild, one of the cleanest I've ever seen.
Anyways it's my job also, but I love watching others to learn more because no one knows it all.
Thanks for this great video.
very briefly mentioned how to repair a hydraulic power steering, thanking you
I've watched about seven or eight videos on rebuilding rack & pinions this week, and by far - this one is the best! ❤Thank you! 💕
Almost asked how to get the Special Tool and you answered faster than I could type! Thank you!
This fixed my whole steering wheel issue. My cruise control and other buttons on my wheel weren’t working. Now they are. THANK YOU!
Cruise control wouldn’t have anything to do with this??
great video , well explained and no stupid music.Thanks for sharing
I learned an ecellent idea from you. Today, I just finished rebuilding/ overhauling the hydraulic power steering rack of my mitsubishi car by following your video. So helpful. thank you.
Excellent job. I appreciate you showing all the detail, your special tools and the OEM repair part numbers. This looks to be a fairly involved job.
Zadovoljstvo je gledati sa kakvim majstorstvom i pedantnošću obavljate posao.Svaka čast,mladiću 👍🏻

- The Teflon seals should be soaked in boiling hot water to expand the seals so they can be easily fitted
-The power steering rack teeth must be centralised & the pinion gear needs to be timed so that the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position
- The rack pad adjusting screw is to be set at 12 Newton Metres of torque then backed off by 30° or 1/2 a flat of the hex shape in the middle of the rack pad adjusting screw while the rack pad & pinion gear is timed & centralised.
- The kit comes with new O rings so I replace the O ring for the torsion rod which is held in place to the pinion input shaft by a 4 millimetre diameter of Dowel pin,I replace all the O rings on the pinion (spool) valve assembly
I used an old beer bottle to stretch the Teflon seals out a bit over the neck of the bottle & I used the plastic off a soft drink bottle when fitting the new Teflon seals to prevent them from getting damaged, that's happened on a couple of power steering racks that I rebuilt.
I test the power steering racks before fitting the tie rods because I need to make sure that it won't leak,Holden didn't tell me to fit them beforehand.
It would be a similar procedure for the power steering racks in the Australian built Fords who sourced their power steering racks from the same supplier.
It's a bit like when Dana bought Borg Warner out in Australia,the procedure for rear differential overhaul pretty much remained the same !
So how we can know the exact time of the pinion gear
well reading this post made me buy a new rack
Thank you,sir.Very nice work.Excellent instruction for any regular guy or gal who may be considering doing such a rebuild.But,like you, I agree it is a better option to obtain refurbished or new.Thanks.
انا مكنيكي سيارات الان اصبحت معلم هدروليك بعد هذا الفيديو💟
Thanks for this great tutorial. It's gave me all the knowledge I need in steering rack rebuild.
This is a complete hydraulic course. Luv it.
Very good and detail video with proper explanation and without editing
Excellent video. You are very skilled. I have 215k miles on my rack (2006 Matrix) and no leaks. I change the fluid (Dex/Merc ATF) every 40-50k miles.
Nice showing how to open and assembled
Only thing missing from this video is shot's of Vodka at rebuilds completion. Cheers Comrade, great video!!
Ich danke fur
So patience, great video so helpful!!!
Longest video I've ever watched on YT haha. Great video though. Thanks for taking the time to make it
Perfect work bro , thank u for making this video
Thank you for the video , ill be trying to fix a end seal without removing the rack from the car , wish me luck lol
did you succeed?
How did that go? Getting it out of most cars is easier than trying to do this job with it installed
The best video about rackpinion thanks.
You are a real máster.
Very nice and detailed video I watched the entire thing from beginning to end
You just saved me some money. Thank you, friend!
Job well done. Thanks for uploading.

Simple, you are amazing man.
Thank you very much for the great tutorial
Wow so patient .great job on video and work
Very very educational!!..all steps indicated..thumbs up bro
You’re very talented
Great video. I don't understand how anybody could give this a thumbs down.

@@brianhaygood183 I have a feeling pro rebuilder shops don't change everything like he did. Its a good video.
@@brianhaygood183 But he did measure the tie rod lengths by comparing to the old ones side-by-side. You say tomato, I say tomahto.
Awesome, thx 4 the detailed video and instructions

My 99 Tacoma is the same. I'm gonna fix it or die trying
@@lamarzimmermanmennonitefar5269 😩Sorry. It’s awful. Too bad especially if the rest of vehicle is good.
It might be the rack. I'm gonna have to test mine today
Nice job 👍
