The manuals say remove the rack and this is what I did when removing the
timing cover. I don't think the alignment will be affected, however this
would be a good opportunity to replace the rubber mounting bushes for
aluminium or polyurethane, this give better location and improve the
steering rigidity so I'm told, I intend to do this when I get the time :-).
