Default Marathon Rack Replacement - Pointers/Links?

Just replaced the steering shaft on my 1992 Marathon, and it significantly reduced the free-play.

The steering is pretty tight. Only about 1" of play. Since I'm taking it to 25mph, would like to get rid of last 1".

It looks like it's the rack, and maybe the reduction gear. The reduction gear is easy, but the rack looks like the whole box might need to be pulled.

Anyone having done this know the approximate time to replace the rack?

I did a search, but no how-to threads found.
I could figure it out, but would love to have a link to the procedure, if possible. If you can point me to a how-to thread, so I can see what I'd be getting into, that would be great.

Thanks!

its fairly simple. up behind the shock cover you find the rack steering knuckle. remove the nut and pull loose. then pull the three bolts holding the entire steering box from the floor by the peddle. its easy to pull rack apart at that point. rack replacement kits are available on ebay or other sites.

good luck
