Rack and pinion removal

Thank you, couldn’t have done it without your help. Going to also do an oil change on Friday along with replacing the rear upper control arms. The only things left to do would be to install that exhaust hanger bracket, the cover for the lines, the steering joint cover, and I need to get a cotter pin on the right tie rod. I torqued the castle nut to spec but the nut is blocking the hole. What would I do in this case? Tighten more or?

Tie rods are done and lines continue to remain dry which is awesome. Going to get new set of tires Friday and installing new battery tomorrow. I was going to change the oil today but realized some oil on the oil pan again and it appears the oil pan gasket needs to be replaced but I want to replace the whole pan itself. Do you happen to have any diagrams and steps for removing and replacing the oil pan? Also unsure what type of sealant I should buy and which areas to apply it on the new pan and gasket.

Not a problem, I totally understand; thank you once again for all your assistance through this job. :)

Thank you. I put the wheels on and got the car of stands however I notice that if I turn the wheel a bit to the right then the wheels are perfectly straight. In this case would I disconnect the shaft from the wheel and turn the rack a bit to get it straight and then reconnect shaft to joint?

Awesome, thank you; I will wait for alignment shop to do it :)
