I have a 2000 disco 2, and will be changing out the power steering pump and steering gear box. I have a video that shows the removal and installation of the pump, and it shows the tools but you can not tell what size the tools are and was wondering if someone could let me know exactly what size tools I need to do the pump and the steering gear box.
Also I am a little confused looking at the rave manual about the steering box removal. Do I need to remove the side panel on the drivers side to access the box better or can it be disconnected and installed entirely underneath the vehicle? The manual also mentions a stabilizing bolt to be placed in the steering box before and after removal. Where do I get this bolt? I take it that I center the vehicle's front wheels, lock the steering wheel, and the bolt is to centralize the box when pulled, is this so I can then match up how the other one needs to be lined up before it gets put in and that I put in the centralizing bolt to the one going in so everything lines up? Also will an alignment need to be done after swapping them out?
The other one that is going in all ready has the pitman arm on it as it is a salvage part so just curious as to what I need to know about getting the box in and out correctly. I do not find the diagrams in the rave manual or descriptions being detailed enough. I am going to be doing all of this next weekend so any help between now and then would be great! Thanks!
