I went ahead and ordered a remanufactured power steering rack. I'm gonna do the job myself but I need some guidance on the process. It looks pretty straightforward looking at it under the van but...

First time poster here. Would really appreciate some diagnostic help with this problem.
I was 100 feet from a gas station the other day when I ran out of gas. Out of desperation (I was blocking...
