I'm in Alex, don't need it right now but sounds like a nice mod to do in future
One thing, do you have spare racks or require my one?1996 S2 ABY Silver

I've stood considering starting the job a couple of time's but haven't felt brave or clam enough, maybe I should acquire some Valium or Xanax (perhaps both) before hand as well as a punch bag.1989 B3 2.0 3A 80 quattro... Budget 1.8T Project.

Too pull a rack again, I'd either be crazy or desperate. However, if it happens again, I'd pull off the head for access. Last time I pulled the motor, but with the head out and maybe the subframe dropped down an inch there should be plenty of room.
Would not ever even consider doing it without at least pulling the head, the way the tie rod bracket and hydraulic hoses are stuffed back in there is as tight of a fit as I could imagine. Even just getting the rack in place is a gargantuan task.

I'll check your thread out, if it come's to it I reckon it can be done by removing the inlet manifold/dissy and completely removing the sub-frame. I do have the luxury of a pit and very nice tools so will try and do it removing as little stuff as possible for a challenge, perhaps aided by Benzodiazepine's.1989 B3 2.0 3A 80 quattro...

How much easier would the steering rack removal be with the transmission removed. I'm about to drop my transmission to replace the front seal and the clutch and from the looks of it I can get easier access to the rack. My rack is leaking bad and needs to be rebuilt.
Would I need to send my rack away to get in on this buy?

That's the best time, motor and trans out leaves all sorts of room.Find me on Instagram @pry4sno

The engine will be staying put, just pulling the transmission but I think I'll still get decent access.
If you need a break from the CQ you could always head down HWY 2 and give me a hand

Also, Dave... I have a spare rack that needs rebuilt if you want to send it out as a core. Nice to have one on hand before you begin the job
The RS2 rack has a tighter ratio, not sure if that would affect the exchange.Find me on Instagram @pry4sno

If they say it's doable on my URS4 rack I'm in..
I have a spare rack I could send away and no rush to get it back...
I will be replacing shocks, subframe and all the joints around christmas.. it would be easier to fit it in that occasion (if you think it could be done by that time)
keep us informed!
