I spoke with someone today who used to own an '84 and he had changed the rack out on his and said that it was a fairly easy job. I can get a warranty replacement on mine so the part is free. What are the steps involved? I know that you have to unhook the tie rod ends (no big deal there). I also know that there are two U-bolts that hold the sucker down. Obviously you have to also unbolt the steering shaft and remove the hoses. I haven't had a chance to look at the Haynes manual yet. Also I am trying to see if I can locate a garage to do the job in. I cut the belt the other day because it was gushing fluid out and blowing it everywhere. I tried to drive it like that today but it was almost impossible. It would be a shame to not replace it since I get the new rack for free. They just never expect you to cash in on the lifetime warranty.
If anyone can list the steps I would appreciate it.
