Just never know sometimes.

because mine is my DD, and doing it in driveway, I did my side separately then changed hose fitting so I’ve had my rack off & on again at least 3x in last wk n half.
I’m no gear head...racks not that bad really, 4 bolts, torque m to spec when done. Previous poster is correct on hose clamp, it’s key to give you some play. With bolts out and hose clamp removed, gives you enough play to pull rack back n up to pull out cam bolt without removing any lines.
Also take a hard look at your return lines to your pwr steering reservoir cause if they’re rotted, doing them at same time saves you from having to removing rack again. There’s some decent aftermarket lines out there.
Tim’s video is great and those specific diablo blades cut awesome.
