Hi guys!

Can someone tell me if it's possible to replace only the two bushings that hold the steering rack in place?
I'm talking about MB315228 + MB501119. One of which I was able to find OEM on Ebay, the other I've had 3D printed out of TPU.

The current ones are shot and there's a lot of play, so I'd like to swap them out, but don't want to remove anything more than I have to.
Will removing the brackets give me enough room to slide out the old ones and install the new set?

You will have to remove the rack its not that bad.
Thanks!

I've seen the video on Youtube. Indeed it doesn't seem that bad, especially since I don't have a transfer case on mine. But I'll have to find someone with a lift or take it to a repair shop. Both front wheels need to be off the ground, and I don't have multiple jacks.
