keep that guy away from my Tercel! I have bought fixers that must have had mechancis like that work on them before, everythign was way over tightend, usually cracked or broken off, warped, you name it.
Those bolts on the steering rack always are a fight to get off, I use a really big breaker bar and a several socket extensions so I can put a lot of force on it with the wrench above the engine.

Re: Stearing leak
I never authorized you to post my photo, dlb.
I am working on my legs this month and I have a hangnail on my pinkie.

I have been searching in a FSM and the online FSM, and I can't find the torque specifications for the two clamps that attach the rack to the crossmember.
Seems like it was a lot - well over 100 ft-lbs.
At least to remove it it felt like it was.
haha jk. i love that one.
