how long to swap a rack?

[robert weinberg]

thanks all,

so what would you say in hours? 5?, 7?, 10?, more?

basically, i'm paying an audi friend to do the job and he was looking for a ball park estimate on the hours. he's replaced one on his V8Q, but that was a long time ago.

i'll be buying a reman rack from jorgen.

see ya,
Robby

Bernie,
3 days????
The first time might be a PITA, but after that should be able to do the
entire job including replacing the shaft seal in the rack in less than
one day.

The hardest part is getting the high pressure hose back on.  Since the
200 has o-rings instead of copper washers like on the 5k, it is easier.
