Hi guys,
I think I might have found a solution to my lower problem of getting it out without bunch of messing around with the rack or steering column.
I found this page: http://www.rmeuropean.com/bmw-e30-steering.aspx
It was on a E36 rack swap, and they'd split the linkage by taking out the rivets at the point below the guibo, and then used bolts to put it back together, as shown below:
They'd used 7/16 bolts and the 72-11-1-977-925 bolts from an E36 to put it back together. They seem to have a bit of a sleeve to take the place of that bushing that's in with the original rivets.
The nuts are shown in the next picture above the bolts:
Anyone see any issues doing this?
