RW> Been there, done that. I usually ended up under the vehicle, kicking the

I tried kicking, crowbars, torch, and finally resorted to the rubber maul.  It
took a good smack to finally get that rotor off.

RW> Saw that. My question would include; why didn't you paint the hardline,

RW> the install.

I just hope there is no problems on the rack and pinion side of things.  I
don't think there is.  I am going to have to have someone turn the wheel with
the truck on while I take a peek at the high pressure side of the power
steering.  I expect it to be spraying all over the place.  I can even smell it
at times getting burned on the engine.  

Need to wait for a warm weekend.  Getting cold up here now and doing this in
the garage would make for a big mess.
