• Q: How to remove the rack and pinion power steering gear on 2008 Toyota Sienna?

  A: The first step to remove the rack and pinion power steering rack and pinion involves checking and removing the front center wheel followed by both front wheels. The next step requires usage of special service tool 09628-62011 to separate the left tie rod assembly before moving onto the right side. Next fix the steering wheel with the seat belt then release the 3 springs along with separating the dust cover. First make matchmarks on the intermediate shaft assembly and power steering rack and pinion assembly before you take out the bolt which will split the assembly. The technician needs to disconnect both the left and right front stabilizer link assemblies before taking out the two bolts from the left front stabilizer bracket No.1. Execute this procedure again on the remaining side. Connect and disconnect the pressure feed tube assembly through its clip while detaching the return tube assembly from the power steering rack and pinion assembly before using special service tool: 09023-12701 to separate the pressure feed tube assembly. Starting by removing the bolt enables the separation of the tube clamp until you detach the nut to split the tube clamp. Complete the removal process of the rack and pinion power steering rack and pinion assembly by unfastening its 2 bolts and nuts while being cautious to protect the 2 pressure tubes.
