when i did mine in my GTP though i took out the bolts for the steering rack and secured it to the vehicle when i dropped the frame and trans from underneath.....for me it was always a PITA to get the damn steering shaft lined up and power steering lines. on installation however MAKE TRIPLE SURE YOU ROTATE AND SET THE TOURQE CONVERTER ON THE INPUT SHAFT!!!!!!

that number 6 bolt is a feeler... you cant see it. i battled that one for the longest time... battle as i didnt know it was there. i kept feeling back there and i would just get the alignment plug.

i think i wasted a good half day jacking with it.
