How to Remove and Install the Rack And Pinion in a Steering Gear System on 2000 Toyota Tacoma?

The first step to remove the rack and pinion starts by steering the front wheels straight forward before removing the steering wheel pad and wheel. The first step for removing the rack and pinion involves disconnecting both RH and LH tie rod ends before moving on to the intermediate No. 2 shaft. Use Special Service Tool: 09631-22020 to disconnect the tube connections before you can uninstall the Rack And Pinion assembly by removing its 2 set bolts, nuts, and washers. To install the assembly start by attaching the Rack And Pinion assembly and tighten the 2 Rack And Pinion assembly set bolts and washers and nuts to 201 Nm (2,050 kgf-cm, 148 ft. lbs.). The connection of pressure feed tube and return tube requires the use of Special Service Tool: 09631-22020 to torque each tube at specific levels: pressure feed tube to 36 Nm (365 kgf-cm, 26 ft. lbs.) and return tube to 40 Nm (405 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.). You need a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.81 inch) torque wrench when using Special Service Tool to achieve maximum accuracy while keeping the tool parallel to the wrench. The next sequence involves attaching the intermediate shaft No. 2 to the tie rod ends followed by wheel front leveling at a 90-degree angle with 6-foot jack assistance. Begin by centering the spiral cable and installing the steering wheel according to the matchmarks while tightening the wheel set nut only temporarily before connecting the connector. The power steering system needs bleeding followed by steering wheel center point inspection and final torque of the wheel set nut to 35 Nm (360 kgf-cm, 26 ft. lbs.). The final steps involve putting on the steering wheel pad followed by wheel alignment inspection.
