What size were the bolts to the frame and crowfoot wrench. I have the same van
Scotty Kilmer been following your channel for some odd years now. Man I love you enthusiasm and the ways you end your videos lol. Always good content.
I noticed there wasn't a link for common sense. Where can I go to get that? :-)
Forgot to mention turn steering wheel side to side, while adding powersteering fluid.
Try this on a Mitsubishi lance 2006 es please
When replacing a rack and pinion make sure you center the rack, flush the system, clean or replace the reservoir, lock the steering wheel in place to prevent damaging the clock spring and bleed the system after the installation is done. Just a few more tips for beginners
Scott be like.. "how to replace an engine." in a 2min video
{Cheesy intro goes here}
(1) Remove bolts
(2)Remove engine
(3) Put new engine in
voila!
{Cheesy outro}
Other than draining the coolant and removing the power and electric connections it's pretty much that straight forward, it might not happen as fast as you can say it or edit it into a video but it's not complex at all.
Torque to spec... *Ughh*
Super cheesy for sure
Clearly never removed one from a 2003 Ford Escape V6 3.0L XLT 🤔
And he’ll do it on jackstands like wtf 😭
I used to watch this guy years ago when I lived in Texas. He has a segment on the news in the morning for car tips. Always something informative and entertaining. I'm glad he included the part about swearing as you try to remove the rack, because that is 100% accurate and necessary to complete the job. lol
For those about to do this job, keep in mind that some cars don't take regular power steering fluid. Toyotas generally use ATF in the power steering systems, check the cap for the fluid requirements. Just a tip!
Atf is power steering fluid unless you're driving a euro car and then it's most likely mineral oil or a synthetic substitute.
true, like some fords too take atf
My volvo Takes atf
I'm pretty sure if someone is smart enough to change the rack they can figure out which fluid to put in it
Dima Aryeh Same on Taurus. It seems like regular power steering fluid is thicker, and I've read it can contribute to messing up valves.
A Point to make: Be sure the steering wheel is centered and locked before you start removing the Rack. That way the steering wheel clockspring won't be broken. You can slide the rack back and forth to match the sheel straight ahead position before connecting the Steering wheel pinch bolt connection.
Your mileage may vary..
mark
yeah, how to straigghten the heck outa the steering wheel without it moving when maniupalting the rack and without using an expensive expensive tool?
I think I broke mine mid driving lol
Seat belt wrapped around wheel
Bro signed a RUclips comment 😅
I love how simple this video is and nothing was dragged out hours like other vids.
Somehow I suspect that the job would be a lot harder for me than you make it look. Hope I never have to tackle it.
I have before it's alot harder than it looks
You just watched it to watch? 😂😂
Never hide from anything. Or the devil will surely do some bad stuff to you. Facing things head on is getting what you want, living in paradise. Would you deny yourself of your dream girl?
The power steering lines is the hardest part
@@Brandon-tn8vumy dad just did it and it truly is.
I'm not gonna lie, you're a pretty cool guy
Pretty? Try "really".
TRY EPIC!😎👍
Duh lol
Scotty, I love the way you revvvvvv in and revvvvv out. Very succinct delivery, no fluff. Thanks
I use your videos a lot while working on my own car your videos have helped me save a ridiculous amount of money. Thank you for doing these!
Must be great to live where there's no road salt. LOL
It is. Thanks.
Tedybear315 It is !🤜
Houston is great
@@stevenmontemayor1870 nice town; traffic sucks. Last time I was there was after Katrina.
What’s salt on roads lol kidding
I'm going to suggest that while you are replacing the steering rack, replace all of the fluid and install an in line filter. Also if you can, take the power steering pump off and look for any problems like leaks, chips, cracks. And if the pump is leaking around the fittings or the reservoir, you can get an o-ring kit to replace the old ones with. Might as well check it all before you put bad old fluid into a new rack.
It's also a very good time to replace inner & outer tie rod ends, sway bar links, and whatever else may be shot underneath the car. On some cars I think you have to drop the sub frame to get the p/s rack in/out.
Most fwd cars you do now because of how they stuff them in there. And yeah it's a good idea to replace all the suspension components that are worn when you do something like this since you're already taking it apart and paying for an alignment.
It's important to note that not all vehicles rack and pinions are easy to change like this one. I believe this was a Chevy venture or uplander, one that obviously hasn't spent much time in a rust belt state. And yes as a previous person stated, LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL.
+adventureoflinkmk2 Funny you should say that because the van in this video uses a unibody. My point is, do your research on how to work on YOUR car. If you had ever changed a rack on a Sebring convertible, or really any damielchrysler(besides the SUV/truck line)Every vehicle can be VASTLY different from the next.
Thank you for the condensed version!
nice video!
I cant wait to do mine! now that i have seen this my confidence is UP!
Video is titled, "Fixing a Leaking Power Steering Rack."
Step 1: Replace the whole rack.
...
Step 2: Lots of Coffee.
Video is actually titled " how to change the power steering rack on your car".....
🤣🤣
Good quick video, great for reference. Wish you would have shown locking the steering wheel, a lot of people who would get the most from this video aren't going to know about the clock spring and air bag issues if the steering shaft isn't put on in the right position.
What's the secret to that? Locking the steering wheel that is.
Yikes, after reading this, I think I'll let my mechanic do it!
Having this repair done after the new year. I have a minor leak in my power steering rack but I’m replacing the old one next week to avoid serious safety issues.
Scotty_ You've done it again!! THANK YOU. About to troubleshoot a leaking p/s pump, and after seeing this AND your previous video about "noisy p/s units" , and the often overlooked pressure regulator valve, I will not "jump the gun" and simply replace the p/s pump.....THANK YOU.
love this guy. everytime I have a problem he makes it so much better.
m Gavin i agree
I totally agree. This guy takes no shortcuts !! Obviously, each step takes time, but who wants to wait for liquid wrench to loosen up a nut? This video makes it easy to remember and more fun to try out yourself. I sure hope I don't need a steering rack too soon for my 2011 Impala. Btw: How long do steering racks last in general? I do a ton of steering and should I try changing my rack this summer myself? Looks easy. I love this guy also. Got me so wound up I am still rambling. But this guy made a ton of videos and he's always cheering me up so I agree. Thumbs up big time !!
@@loveshy007 The one in my Honda lasted 103,000 miles. How about you?
Mark Paradis i still have the original rack and pinion in my 1994 tercel, still working good.
You make it look so easy :) great video as always!
You the best !!! I have solve many problems in my car watching your helpful videos. Thank you Scotty Kilmer.
I am planning to do this job myself, in a few weeks, thanks buddy, I like the part about marking the nut to keep things back to where they are supposed to be.
I think you missed a couple of very important steps here mister Scotty, first secure the steering wheel so it does not spin while the rack is out and destroy the spiral cable, also the reattach the steering column before the tie rod ends to avoid missing the steering wheel center as well.
You should loose the steering shaft clamp bolt first if you have to drop the sub-frame to get enough clearance to pull out the rack. If you don't and forget, it will slightly bend the end of the shaft. It will come right off when you realize your mistake but then will take about 3 days to get the slightly bent shaft back into the new rack clamp correctly. Lots of fun.
good point , 2 years later still necessary tip
Scotty's really living life❤ Great video!
he made it look so easy i did mine and i had to lower the subframe and it took me 4 days
Also remember that cars with clock springs and ribbons on the steering wheel you have to keep the wheel more or less stationary as free spinning the steering wheel will damage the clock spring. And no mention of centering the rack prior to connecting the rack pinion to column spline. To enable you to get even turns on both sides when the job is done. I just finished my cursing and swearing and wiping blood off my finger from a rack swap this morning.
easy peasy when the car does not have 10 tons of rust and corrosion on the frame. And the frame does not have to dropped.
I got an estimate from a shop for my Toyota Sienna. 4 hours ($125 per hours) labor, fluid and shop supplies $50, alignment $90. Total labor is about $650 + tax. Scotty could do it in less than 1 hour. What a difference !!! I wish I live near Scotty's shop.
thank you scotty your videos have helped my mechanic skills.
I really appreciate the emphasis on the cursing and swearing part. Car companies should require their design engineers to spend a few years as a mechanic before their allowed to design these impossible to get to components.
We are lucky that we can still curse our cars. In the land of rotten teeth, the Queen has enacted hate speech laws. Wouldn't that suck to be working on your car and get 2 years in prison for cursing it.
They're not so impossible to get to clearly
Well said but will never happen. Don't you see that is only how dealer keeps his profit at best!
Try doing this on Audi of bmw
This is great, thanks. Honda is trying to charge me like $1600 for the part and labor. I've found a rack for my 2007 CR-V for less than $300.
Odyssey Van Life It should be $200
next thing they will be putting it inside the engine block ('for stability') and it will cost you a complete engine rebuild ??
@@loveshy007 Hopefully this whole world of designed to fail will be over before they get to that point !!!
You taught me more in 3 minutes than all the ridiculous videos I've watched that just promote their business. Thank you!
Scotty, you're a character and make a great mechanics overview video!
hahaha "cursing and swearing till you get it on" So true!
nice alignment trick but your supposed to measure the inside of the rod as the outside is a less reliable measurement
He makes most scarey leaks and problems seem so easy he takes away the anxiety of these major repairs
i wish all youtube videos were produced like this, excellent, thank you
how to know if ur steering rack is gone for sure, also can i use a used one to replace ?
Great Vidoe
Scotty I don't know if you read these old post comments you're the only guy I know that can do a 30-hour job video in 3 minutes you've done a lot of videos since this one brother
Always appreciate the videos and help Scotty K!
Hey scotty, I was checking my oil today and it had a strong smell of gasoline. it also had lttile droplets of gasoline on the dipstick I think. What is happening and what should I do? 2010 Honda odyssey 122k miles
PS: This was my question from last Saturdays live chat that never got answered lol
You're running rich for some reason
xSnakeStyles I had a rich code and turns out it was the MAF sensor. I cleaned that and no CEL since then. the droplets in the oil are still there.
+MrRangerZr1 After the code went away did you get an oil change? Also how is the performance?
xSnakeStyles I am going to do the oil change this weekend. performance is same as b4
+MrRangerZr1 gas getting into the crank case.... Leaking injectors, fuel pressure regulator possibly... You really should track this down soon because gasoline breaks down oil and that's terrible for your bearings.
have the car running as your refilling the steering fluid and turn the wheels lock to lock to bleed all the air.
+keith kennedy yes, and do that with the vehicle still up in the air
Although many do it that way, you can burn up your power steering pump if it go dry, techs use vacuum pumps with the engine off to avoid this.
keith kennedy

the instructions that came with my rack and pinion literally say "Do NOT TURN STEERING WHEEL LOCK TO LOCK"
@@richardgrimes6208 did you get a Detroit axle reman?
You ROCK dude!! You are so generous to share your knowledge
damn Scotty your the best. you make it look so easy though. I have never worked on a rack and pinion, but I have worked on a few cars in my life even though I'm not a mechanic. watching this video of you working on the rack and pinion looks similar to my 2002 Chevrolet Impala. I think I will do this first thing in the morning. lol. thanks again. take care.
On some vehicles it s necessary to unbolt the subframe... and it's a hell of job!!!
+Juan Noguera yes, there are some I won't even touch
+Scotty Kilmer yup 94 camry 3.0 is going to be hell :(
Tu que sabes Juan
You have to drop the subframe on Volvo P80 bodies as well. It's a bear of a job...
Especially when the ape before you cross-threads the subframe bolt and hammers it all the way home!
Very informative video here, but I doubt replacing the steering rack is that easy. In some cases, if not most, you will be required to unbolt the subframe. And that can take some serious time and tool action to accomplish.
Just did this on a 2006 Montana AWD. Was straight forward and was just as described. I replaced both outer tie rods as one was bad, so figured it was time for the other too. The link pins both broke, and are connected to the lower control arm. I pulled the sway bar out to get more room to get at the hose fittings. I was able to get them off using a wrench too (18mm). I also removed the line bracket clamp that was just above the right mounting bolt. Took the car in to get an alignment after the install. Did not need to drop the subframe as the rack came right out the drivers side very easily. This video covered the basics and was a great summary of the job. Thanks for posting this Scotty.
Loved the video..the ending kills me haha. Great stuff Scotty, hope you're doing well!
not a dull moment watching how to do it.. more action than talk.. i like that style!
This is not a job for the faint of heart. Scotty makes it look easy.
I'm so happy that he didn't make a 2 hour documentary out of it.
legend says hes still driving that car
Scotty Kilmer : The best mechanic I will say a genius man.
2020 thanks Scotty, this is awesome!
1:48 Why are you in the dirt almost in the bushes with car parts? 🤦🏻♂️
That's how it is. You think being a technician is a clean job?
@@12mak shoddy mechanics work in the dirt. Simple, put cardboard or plywood if you dont have a concrete pad.
@@dave3464 and what do you do? Changing your own oil does not make you a mechanic.
@@12mak Didn't say I was a mechanic. Although I haven't been to one in 25 years. So I must be doing something right.
And burp the system to get the air out.. =]
Thanks Scotty. I Loved the video and the enthusiasm. This will help a lot.
Thank you for the fantastic video Scotty!
scotty you do not fix it, you change it . So call your video "Changing a leaking power steering rack" :) There is a difference between fixing and changing.
Still love your videos and thanks for them a lot!!
TheCarista I believe the idea is that the only acceptable way to repair it is to replace it so, in a sense, he is repairing the leak.
the title is called fixing a leaking power steering rack. in no sense at all is he fixing the leak because that steering rack still leaks.
Hey, let's not get pedantic here, this isn't 5th grade english class
You forgot a very important step to secure the steering wheel to avoid wiring issues on your steering column. Also use the castle nut bolt to avoid ruining the bolt before you wack it with a hammer. Then run your engine when all done turn 10 times each way with wheels off the ground to get any air out of the system. Finally you can repair the rack if you know how even someone with basic knowledge can do it.
He did, indeed, 'Fix it' - unless the new rack was defective. Sigh.
Not a very good idea to hit the end of the tie rod end for fear of damaging threads ! Just hit the housing where the taper sits and it will shock it free
Also i wouldnt have put the rack on the dirty floor, soill and grit getting into threads ect ect , other wise good video
I just worked on my niece 2002 Accord with 4-cylinder. It took me the weekend to complete the job. I wished that I could pulled the rack out from the side as Scotty demonstrated. For mid-size Accord, there aren't much room to maneuver under the engine sub-frame. loosing the exhaust/catalytic converter nuts are required. I also used the crowfoot to loosen the High Pressure hard line flare nut and the Return Hose flare nut from the driver side wheel. There aren't enough room to reach to the flare nuts either from the top or underneath of the car After successfully loosen both flare nuts, then I encountered more difficulty to get rack out. According to some RUclipsr tips, they mentioned that the steering wheel must be turned all the way to the left, it caused the driver side inner tie rod end shorter. I also pushed the rack all the way to the passenger side, it allowed the driver side rack came down from the sub-frame. After trial and error, the whole rack came down from underneath the car not pulled out from the side as Scotty demonstrated. Re-installation was much harder than removing. Re-installing the high pressure line was also much harder due to hard line. I don't want to cross threaded the rack thread or the flare nut thread. I used hand to tie them as far as I can go before using the crowfoot wrench. You can do it and the weekend.
respect to you scoty, fixing it on the ground ur the man
Leave the nut on the tie rod end so you don't mess up the threads with a hammer
+hugeslacker Good tip. I once bent the castellations, ruining the nut, so now I thread the nut on upside-down or use another regular nut (easier). Here's another way: Loosen locking nut between inner and outer tie rod ends after painting an alignment mark (for the measurement later on). Slip small rack boot clamp off and run a pocket screwdriver tip under the boot if it's sticking to the tie rod.Turn the inner tie rod hex flats with open end wrench to unthread it from the outer end. Popping the tapered stud with a hammer usually isn't as easy as this time was for Scotty.
Seen someone use a fork tool...
I don't think it really WAS that easy...I think he did the grunt work to loosen it, then started filming later to save time and keep the video short.
@@gemanscombe4985 yes that one stroke of the hammer in this video sure did not do mine ! I was trying to do this with the wheels on in my ignorance. When it came to that step I took off the ramps the van was on and put it on jack stands and took off the front wheels. Then I could (with a nut on there to protect the threads and using a small sledge hammer could swing it hard enough to actually remove those outer tie rod ends from their place. On mine it is upside down from in the video. I think using a $10 pickle fork here would help immensely; i used a big screwdriver which may have helped. The hammering eventually got it. Use silicone spray or a similar product always of course when removing bolts and let it soak in spraying 2 or 3 coats in 10 minutes depending on how hard it is for that wd-40 or whatever you're using to get to the threads. I am working on a 93 quest (van) and I sure hope i do not have to drop the subframe to get the old one out ! Today hopefully I will get to that point. Going to try to find a shop manual somewhere since I do not find that exact video on youtube anywhere. I'm glad people here said to lock the steering wheel. In the video there is no mention of what position the rack is in when it is removed and how to make sure the new one is IN THE SAME POSITION as when the old one is removed as the gears inside allow those tie rods to move from all the way left to all the way right and if we take off the rack in the center position and the new rack is set at a right turn or a left turn position according to another viewer here, and common sense that will not work... they do not self adjust. I am thinking to set the steering wheel straight and clamp it in position somehow (my ignition key has been stuck in there for years so I cannot lock the steering wheel by just removing the key and turning the wheel until it locks). Then measuring how far the the end of the tie rod end is from the center of the steering connection. That way if the new rack differs in some way as to the threads or design, the wheels and the steering wheel will be in the same position when the new rack is installed. Obviously I have not done this before ! Good luck all.
lots of cursing and swearing. But you make it look easy.

I love your energy, dude!
Hey Scotty, what size was the crow foot ratchet wrench you used for the power steering lines on the rack? I've got the same type of vehicle with a leak in the return cooling line, so I'm gathering up all the stuff I need to do the repair. Thanks again.
torsion bar or sway bar???? rev up your enginess!!!
it goes by several names. i find the term 'sway bar' misleading.

Thank you Scotty Kilmer love your videos and so does the kids
I have a 1999 bmw 323i with the rack leaking..are these the same steps I could do to fix it ?
I have a leak coming from the rack or the boots it's hard to pinpoint....wjat would cause that leak some kind of seal that deteriorated? I wonder if I need a whole new rack and pinion now...
i've probably told you this 20 times before, but i love you Scotty. you have saved me a bunch of money, s000o many times
Scotty, when I turn the steering wheel it's stiff and sometimes hard to turn I flushed the power steering system and change the power steering pump. I think it might be the rack and pinion what do you think it might be any suggestions?
Had to replace mine on a tacoma 04 & it was leaking like crazy i ripped the boots & such & wow did this help out big time! Thanks totally subbing
Cool 😎 video. I love 💕 when he peels out. He makes it look so easy.
Unsure if my problem i have ps noise the pump not leaking i put dye in it and the steering is rough and it wines when i the car is running and when i turn
Scotty your right ! I didn't wanna replace the rack in my rear wheel drive 85 Toyota GTS 5spd with a aftermarket cause I HATE aftermarket so I tried calling Toyota for a oring seal kit and replace the seals in the rack I had. I'm mad cause they discontinued the seal kit so had a new Genuine rack from California shipped to me. All this ramble from me was just to back up what you were saying about just replacing the whole rack and keep shit movin'. Thanks brother. Season Greetings and a Happy New Year to you & who evers reading this comment.
Is this change the same on all cars i.e i have a 94 Holden Commodore VR and was told there are pins in the knuckles or somthing that has to be replaced or somthing when taken out
Oh yeah! I love those grunts you make.
I just did one with my friend. It took a bit of elbow grease. Thank you.
Hi Scott, I have a question. I am gonna change my rack and pinion on my 2010 Kia Soul + 2.0 and I would like to know if the mag1 fmx oem gm,ford & Chrysler psf is ok to put back into my vehicle and do you think I could get away with replacing the rack and pinion without dropping the sub frame. Thank you
I have to replace the rack in a 2000 dodge neon from what I've found I can only use a rack off of the same year all other years have a diff rack what makes them diffrent they all hook up the same right
love this guy even tho hes a little crazy i watched a lot of these videos and they're really helpful thank you.
Hey scottty, what causes a bubbles in the power steering reservior tank when you turn your steering wheel, i try to bleed the air but it wont stop making bubbles when turning lock to lock mostly when turning to the right.
do you also need to change the steering column thing that goes down to the rack
Is there a filter for the ps fluid i need to change? Parts website mentioned one and i dont wanna have to mess with it if i dont have to
you got me thinking maybe its the rack on my 89 Honda lxi cause I fill it with power stern fluid and it leck it back out when I'm threw driving it can you tell me what u think thanks
I have 04 f150 I replaced the ps pump but still super difficult to move the steering wheel. So I was guessing then must be the rack and pinion but after doing some read a symptom of a bad rack is loose steering. So I’m. Not sure what it could be

hey man how to adjust steering stiffness on a 2005 chrysler 300 steering rack it's too sensitive too soft no play I checked it tie rod and ball joint are ok, is there a srew or bolt to adjust how hard or soft is the steering on a steering rack.
Thanks for the great video, Scotty! I need to do this job on our '95 Toyota Avalon XL. Would you recommend using Teflon tape on the power steering line connections? I thought it might be overkill, but I also thought it might be a good way to prevent leaks.

I have a problem there is leakage near my reservoir and and the power steering grinds when i turn even with fluid in it what could be the problem
Hey Scotty, is it possible to replace the inner tie rods, my drivers side took a hard square on kerb hit (4 inches high apx) that blew a 275/40/20 tyre.
I had it checked and they couldn't find any fault but it's scrubbed the opposite side tyre (inner 1/3rd) and when I rock the wheel there if definite clunking from the rack area. All the ballpoints and ball joints still feel solid. (Upper lower and outer tie rods) It's on a 2004 Cayenne.
Thanks for any advice
I have 2006 chevy impala and have change the rack 3 times already. I did a complete bushings and bearings replacement, even control arms on both sides. I steer left and right you can hear cracking noise. I took it for alignment installed a camber tool. I just ran out of options what is causing it
I am going to fix my little problem my self thanks alot for the video Scotty
