one word...

YECH!!!!!

Changed the rack on my 87 5ktq sat/sun... and it SUCKED!  Was waaaaay too
hot on sat and then the storms started rolling in so i could finish it up on
sat.  Sunday wasnt too bad, but the last thing.. connecting the link from
the rack to the steering colum was a PITA!  Used my pressure bleeder to blow
the rest of the temporary mineral oil i had been using out and then replaced
all the orings on the pump.  Filled it up with fluid and filled the system
with pentosin as well.  Havent looked for any leaks yet, ill look today as i
washed out the car last night and then it rained again.  

Now i just have to stop that damn rear transverse link from squeaking, fix a
loose heat shield under the 2nd muffler, replace the fly wheel, change the
front springs to the Eibach ones, and replace the shifter linkage.  Oh and
get the AC charged on this car and the other one.
