First you position the washer in the 2 grooves of the steering rack.

Then tighten the rack end down. And then you can stake the Lock Washer with a Roll Pin Punch (pic below) to lock it in.

I'm guessing you're converting the rack to Non-Power Steering. Make sure you remove the Piston Seal Ring and O-Ring.

I remember reading someones build thread that went into a lot of detail on converting your rack to non-p/s but I can't remember who it was now..

No dude, bitch pin is the spring pin that locks the shift rod into the transmission.

yeah' that's in my intention dorikon. i've read up this morning basically removing the piston and the seals and assemble it back together

apparently you gota cut the piston off on hondatech

Thanks mate,great stuff!

RePPed!

Yeh that's right if you wanna go all the way, cut the piston off.

Here's Mattski_VTIR's build thread with very nicely detailed pics
