Williams Steering rack change......

[Amirclio]

After fitting my williams subframe to the tungston, looks as though i have cross threaded one of the green power steering pipes into the rack As a result it has pissed all the ffluid out! School boy error yes. The question is, is this now beyond repair? How hard are they to change?

Any guides to changes it/fixing it would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
Amir

had this done to mine (thanks clowo aka matt) as i threaded the rack so it can be done mate. best to take it out and do it in front of you as the room in there is impossible to work in with the rack in the bay!

i did this to my rack. ended up replacing it with a 2nd hand item...

Replaced the rack in the car, definately one of the most fustrating things to do on these. Need subframe dropping, engine moving forward etc.
