I can't imagine not spending the $300 on a rebuilt rack/rebuilding  
the hoses while the motors out.  It took about 30-45 min with the  
motor out yesterday to remove the rack/hoses(ZF freshly rebuilt rack)  
with most of that time trying to get the frozen up yoke off thru the  
firewall.  Someone who's done it in place can chime in on how many  
hours it took just to get those hose fittings off.   It would also be  
a good time to replace the subframe bushings/control arms since  
you're paying for the labor to remove them anyway.  One of the  
subframe bushings on the parts car was pretty much missing, and both  
inner control arm bushings were split(125K) and the ends were loose.   
It also had 1 bad front bearing which sucked as I planned on throwing  
the complete towers on the Black car to sell it.  You've already made  
a pretty major committment by paying for  the motor swap.....What's  
another $700...Ha.  Sincerely, Tom
