Do you need to roll the engine forward also? Would that help?
I see absolutely NO WAY to check the fluid level without taking off the strut tower brace AND the coolant tank.
I'm having a "clunk" in my rack & pinion, but no leak, but I couldn't seem to even see it, let alone get to it. I can see the pulley!!!

I call that an understatement.
I'm not sure if it's because the engine wasn't originally designed to be used in a FWD application, but I still wonder why they couldn't have located it somewhere more accessible. I believe it's right on top on the 3400.
