Power steering bracket removal

[bigtimmyd]

I have searched but found minimal results specific to my question. I just installed an Avid street series motor mount kit, and also de-powered my steering rack so I have no use for this bracket. I am in the process of installing my new turbo and had it partially bolted up and realized this piece is of no use. The new motor mounts eliminate those two studs. When I got the bolts out it won't quite squeeze out. I read another post where he removed 12mm that holds the water pipe on but that is butted up to my turbo.. I really don't want to take the turbo out cause the downpipe is mostly on and two turbo/manifold bolts.. Anyone have a secret trick? Ill probably just pull the turbo again cause I'm getting good at it!

I had to unbolt the water pipe... I think it was a 14mm bolt or a 12mm....then had to pry like crazy to get it out.... I still had the turbo in but had the turbine housing/o2 housing removed.

yeah I just decided to wait until the time is right. Had to continue my build. Got it running and driving, off to get tuned tomorrow with some 1050s in there on E85. I cant wait!!
