'85 5Ks steering rack

[David Templeton]

Hi all & happy holidays

I have the head out of the donor car, I now see the steering rack on the
firewall is easily accessable, is this true?

I am thinking I should pop it out and see if it is good and check against
the one in my wagon while it's head is off. How do I check to see how good
it is?  Is this a good idea?  I am losing steering fluid and am preparing
for the worse.

Thanks
