I am currently replacing the steering rack on my 1990 classic Austin mini Mayfair, however the axle points on my car have perished and therefore Ii have lifted the car using the front subframe. I have removed the horseshoe bolts form the steering arm there is no wheel assembly attached as I have striped down my engine meaning the last step to removing the steering rack is to pull it out of the subframe...

You can't remove the steering rack without unbolting and dropping the back of the subframe down a couple of inches or so.....

Like mad01uk said, you have to drop the rear of the subframe a few inches. Having jacked up on the subframe, place some axle stands with large wood braces across where the front of the floor / bulkhead meet. You can brace the engine using a jack and large piece of wood to. Good thread to read is this. http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/topic/302180-play-in-steering-rack/?p=3255198

Why do people choose to let you down hours before a mini show!!! :( Nothing like a bit of respect, and letting me know earlier.

Minis have been climbing in price for a while. They've pretty much doubled in the last 1-2 years.

Making a cup of tea using a fork instead of a tea spoon is a lot like playing Russian roulette. You keep trying to squeeze the tea bag but you know if you over do it you will split the tea bag.
