easy once the steering colum uj is slacked off
i used a thin batton for it to sit on when replacing to gain the right height for the bolts
again connecting the steering uj was a b *****t but did mine on my own

I tried to changed the rack height plates a while ago but couldn't shift the M10 bolts for love nor money. Working on the footwell with a FO long extension bar is not easy!
