you have to remove the sub frame, tie rods, 3 bolts that hold the RP in place, hoses to cooler, and tubing at rack. I did the job with no problem and was not necessary to remove subframe.

Just done it-the problem you will have is you will think that their isn't enought room to lower-get the rack out, The answer is to wind the rack left or right depending on left or right hand drive, this moves the rack out of the way of the front subframe-allowing it to drop-clear of the subframe and to the ground. I cannot see any other way to do this. To refit- remove one wheel and enter the rack from the centre outwards and then back on itself. Their is on need to remove or disasemble the rack end shafts to remove the rack or install it, best of luck chris
The entire rack is screwed into the roof of the SUV, up from the SUV roof into the rack. However, if you want to remove the 2 cross-bars, pop off the black plastic "half-cones" at the front of rack, and then the bars can be removed.
There is no quick release on these. Remove the front brackets and slide the cross bars off forward then reinstall the brackets ... be certain the toeque the fastners down.
You will need to jack the front end up and make sure the jack stands are not in the way when you remove the rack and pinion. Next remove the front wheels. Disconnect the steering connection from the rack and pinion. Remove the front brakes and rotors. Remove pin the holds hub nut. Remove hub nut. Remove all bolts that hold rack and pinion. Remove nut the holds bottom control arm on either side, but you don't have to do both. You have to do this so you have enough play to slide the extensions that are connected to the rack and pinion. That should do it. Installation is the opposite. Good luck. You will need to jack the front end up and make sure the jack stands are not in the way when you remove the rack and pinion.
