An assistant will be needed to complete the job.
Removal
1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Press out the ball joint pins of both outer steering rod ends from the front suspension strut pivot arms (see "Tie Rod End - Removal and Installation").
3. Unscrew and remove the tension bolt of the lower flange of the elastic coupling and use a large slotted screwdriver to loosen the flange (see "Steering column - removal and installation").
4. With a deep-head socket wrench by 13 mm we unscrew two nuts on the right and left brackets that secure the steering gear to the engine compartment bulkhead.
5. Remove the steering gear mounting brackets, move the steering gear forward a little, removing it from the mounting studs and disengaging the drive pinion shaft from engagement with the lower flange of the coupling.
6. Turning the steering gear with the drive pinion shaft upward, we remove it from the engine compartment through the opening in the left mudguard.
Installation
We install the steering gear in the reverse order, while the assistant in the car puts the lower flange of the coupling on the steering gear shaft in the required position (see "Steering column - removal and installation").
