Any top tips for getting the steering rack mount out of the RHS on an 1850? Workshop manual just says withdraw bracket and u bolt. I can't see any way to get it clear of the oil pump? |

Only way I know is to undo the engine mounts and jack it up the 5cm or so needed to clear. |

It's been a while since I replaced a rack on a slant but I seem to remember jacking up the engine slightly with a block of wood on the sump to get clearence |

i have just done my rack also 1850, i removed nut from OS engine mount and jack engine up enough to be able to get it out, i then noticed i needed a new UJ on the column so have done it twice now. Pete |

When I did my 1850, the bracket came away in 2 parts. The long U-bolt ( upwards and then sideways ) and then the bracket bit. I thought it was something fitted to all early cars ??? My late Sprint had the 2 parts welded together though. Tony. |

The ones on Binny are definitely a single part bracket and U bolt welded together. I tried separating them... very definitely 1 part. |

Well there, now you see Haynes and his much maligned manual says
I can't believe I'm saying this...... "I might have to get a Haynes manual"
Quote: "Support the right-hand side of the engine on a jack and remove the engine mounting. Raise the engine a little with the jack to enable the procedure in paragraph 5 to be carried out."
Pays to read both!

Steady on now, open talk of such a nature could get this thread moved to the TDC dark net.

Remember to open the bonnet before jacking the engine.. |

Ok, I guess it's my turn then, so, my names Rafael and I own a Haynes manual! (rogue Autodata one got in the pack!)
