Default Anyone have instructions for installing a cam in a c5?

I've put cams in 4 f-body's with no problems; but I see that in the vette I'm going to have to take out the steering rack.

I was wondering how this works. I can do everything else from memory, but would like to have some clear instructions for taking out the steering rack so I don't mess it up?

Anyone have the instructions or know how to do it?

Thanks.

Be very carefull there are some wires that run along the rack that can deploy the airbag!

Use jmx's instructions and you'll be good to go.

Make sure your steering wheel stays straight (and locked) if you have active handling though. If the wheel gets turned a rotation or two before reattaching the knuckle, it will set all sorts of codes and your AH won't work (the car's steering position sensor data must be in alignment with the yaw sensor data). Mostly a concern if you've done the column lock bypass mod though..
