want to rebuild my entire rack and pinion and the hoses and so on.

i heard that its not that hard to rebuild the r&p and i already got the seals kit ordered and on the way.

You should do a Walkthrough when you do it!

God Knows I need to do it!

I rebuilt my Rack&Pinion a while back.....

The Rebuild ITSELF was done by a Local Shop that i know (which did a fantastic Job)

the removal was pretty straight forward... just minor issues with the steering column and the cuppler ( and keeping the steering wheel straight when putting it all back In)

I can get you the address to the shop, its here in Socal...

Or Maybe i should do a write up, since i bought another S13 which i also plan on rebuilding the Rack&Pinion

When will this how-to appear? I will go through the process of rebuilding the rack-and-pinion, as well.

i just took my rack and pinion out to convert it to a manual rack its very simple. Keep in mind my motor was out so the removal may be a little harder. Heres a link i followed its very informative.

to rebuild it would be pretty much the same minus plugging the ports and cutting the piston

On a really old rack putting new seals in might not stop leaks, you might have to bore it out and stuff, or buy a rebuilt one. Expensive though.
