Q1 how much of a headache is it to pull out steering racks?
Q2 is there a difference between a jdm kouki ae86's rack and an ADM 86 rack?

Q1. Fairly difficult, not impossible.

Q2. None.

cheers seamus if its fairly difficult might pawn the job off onto a mechanic, hopefully it aint too exxy.

ITs not that difficult, the only fiddle is getting off the brackets that hold it on the rack, other then that its easy. have a go! u will get it out.
and im pretty sure GTV racks are the only different ones

It's a job of moderate difficulty, nothing too bad. Easy if you have access to a hoist, little bit of a pain if you've gotta do it on jackstands.

Sundee is right, GTV racks have an extra tooth. So if your Kouki JDM sprinter is a GTV, then you'll be losing some lock. GT / GT-APEX are the same as ADM.

GTV is different ratio

its not so bad, just be patient.

i pulled one out of a car at the wreckers, in summer..that was crap.

the only difficult thing i find is the tie rod end balljoints get stuck in the steering arm. once i had to pull the arm off and unscrew the tie rod from the rack end. put it in a big arse hycraulic press. i couldnt put anymroe pressure into it, and was hanging off the bloody thing. 5 minutes later bang and it came out

pretend your on a desert island and youve got no beer and the only way you can get back is pulling that rack out,trust me you'll get it out.

Working on cars should be like a tropical island with no other blokes and 15 boobs for each hand and an island sized esky under your feet.
