You mounted the driver side bolt on the rack upside down like I did. I have not seen a video demonstrating how they put the bolt back on like from the factory. It was a pain in the ass to remove as well. Good job on the video.
You have to remove the 4-5 bolts from the AC unit and then hang it to the right and up with a bungie cord or something. It sucks. I agree, do it upside down. :)
I always driven small cars like yaris and fiesta. When I drive a pick up truck with the off road tires it's like 0_0 omg jumping everywhere! Seems like a lot of stress on the rack and pinion plus the tie rod ends.
Great tutorial, but you should have the steering wheel centered and use seat belt to hold the steering wheel straight before you remove old rack n pinion. You could have risked damaging the clock spring because you were about 180 degree off. Keep up the great videos.
Lover your work. Where are you located in California? Would love get work done on my GX470 (AC blend door issue? and Rack and Pinion as well need replacing? Thank you
Those V6 Tacoma's are much more work than the four cylinder Tacoma's. Good job.

Cause at the factory they put the rack in with the engine out.

Newer truck now drive very smooth as those small. Aw long you have standard tires size it run smoothly.
@@alltsab The tacoma I drove had oversized tires. The ones that stick out like 1 foot.
@@cd9225 yeah that will bounce and hard to handle.

@@628retard you welcome
I wonder how you did not break the clockspring
Some of the cars you have to drop the subframe in order to remove the steering rack.
So I have a 2000 pontiac fire bird V6 it turns on but if you drive it, it turns of like is struggles to stay on so if you can please help me.
great job
Do you do 3 and a half turns like you did at 10:50??
Yes
