SOURCE: how do i remove and replace the rack and pinion
You may very well not be able to do this job unless you have a lift. You're going to have to remove the lines that hide up on top and under other crossing lines. Plus the bolts that actually mount the rack are about an inch in diameter if not more and they are fine thread. I think it would be to your best advantage to have this done at a shop by a proffesional. It will save you a lot of grey hairs in the future.
Testimonial: "i know its hard! i just need to know if i can remove frame crash support without any problems."

I really wouldn't push it more than 3 months or especially if climate change once the leak stop has stopped the leak it doesn't like temp change. but i've done radiator stop leak from Lucas and went 6 months before the leak appeared again. good luck
