Removal of steering rack - '02

Does anyone know the size of the nuts that hold the rack on? Going to have to make another trip to Sears. The sway bar ends (one already broken) came off OK yesterday and I got the bar painted. The sway bar bushings were pinched out of the U-clamps from the short end links pulling down on the bar. I have a set of front and rear links from a 1995 on their way from Rock auto. Will either of these do the trick in the front with my 2.5in lift?

Also ordered AC-Delco tie rod ends from Rock (made in China of course) and the rack is one I got from a salvage yard in PA - Al's Auto, Inc. Late-Model Repairable Salvage Vehicles, Recovered Theft Vehicles, Repossessions, Rebuildable Flood Vehicles, Rebuildable Insurance Loss Vehicles, Repairable Wrecked Cars, Repairable Trucks, Repairable Minivans & Repairable SUV's and u - its been cleaned, still has the lines on it - and it feels tight (supposedly only 50k on it). The parts all go in next weekend....

19s on the passenger side, and 22 on the driver's side. Then just the various 10,12,14,17s involved with the lines and line brackets, but it's been a while since I messed with those. I have no idea about the end links for your lift though, sorry.
 
I ordered a brand new steering rack about 1.5 years ago and decided to have a local, reputable shop install it. The only issue they had was the power steering pump lines (and fittings) had corroded so much, they couldn't get them off. I authorized them to put in new, OE lines from Toyota. I have not had one single issue out of this rack yet. I purchase it from car-steering.com. I have to say, the $230 bucks for the labor to remove the old rack and install the new one was worth every penny!
 
I need to do mine too, for some reason I thought they were like 600 but looks like only 340.

You can get a re-man for under $350. A new OEM is $500+. I just bought one yesterday from toyotaonlineparts.com for $511. That was the cheapest I could find one.
 
That looks like a new aftermarket to me. Not OEM. Search this forum for steering rack. Many suggest only OEM for this part.
