Power Steering Rack Replacement?

Checking some repair info on the web, it seems like they say you have to drop the front suspension member (while supporting the engine) to replace the PS rack? Is that actually necessary?

Yes. To make life easier you have to drop the cross members. You can try to pull it from the top but its going to be near impossible. The whole steering knuckle assembly can prevent it going through the holes in the wheel well.

yep remove both crossmembers. Engine is still held by the 2 side mounts. Taking off the crossmembers is super easy. 6 19mm and 1 14mm on the one going side to side. then 4 14mm holding the lengthwise cross member and 4 14mm to remove the front and back mount
