BMR MANUAL RACK CONVERSION KIT

PART# RK00l

Before proceeding it should be noted that this kit is designed to be used only with BMR tubular K-members.

Installation Procedure:

1. With the BMR tubular K-member installed, loosely bolt the rack and pinion into place

using the supplied bolts and billet BMR rack adapter. Make sure you can remove the driver’s

side bolt from the K-member as this will aid in the installation of the steering shaft later. (See

main image below for proper rack adapter mounting)

2. Verify that the new manual rack is centered by using the following procedure: turn the

input shaft all the way in one direction then measure the distance from the end of the tie rod

end to the rack mounting flange as shown in IMAGE 1. Now turn the shaft all the way in the

opposite direction and record this measurement as well. Subtract the smaller number from

the larger and this will be your centering measurement.

3. Using an 11mm wrench, remove the bolt on the upper portion of the steering shaft where it

attaches to the column. Slide the steering shaft off the column. NOTE: Keep the bolt

removed from the factory u-joint.

4. Take the pre assembled u-joint/shaft assembly that came with your RK001 and slide the

end with the hole inside the steering column. Use the supplied 10mm nut along with the

factory bolt and tighten them down.

5. Now take the other end of the shaft with the female splined u-joint and slide that over the

male shaft on the rack. NOTE: This is where removing the drivers’ side rack bolt will

allow the rack to swing out, making it easier to slide the u-joint

on.

6. Slide the rack back into place and tighten the set screw and jam

nut. Also tighten the 4 remaining rack bolts (2 on the K-member

and 2 on the billet mount)

7. It is now necessary to modify the vehicles spindles in

preparation for installing the outer tie rods. Using a 1/2" drill bit,

drill out the tie rod mounting holes on the spindles.

8. Locate the outer tie rod assemblies and thread them onto the

outer portions of the rack and pinion approximately 2 inches per

side.
