Even getting it right on the second try is no small feat. I tore the exact seal you're referring to on my first try, and one of the ones that goes around the gear assembly inside the tower casting on the second. Again, many, many thanks to Travis at Rennbay for supplying me with replacement seals as I needed them, on an individual basis, no less - other places weren't willing or able to break up a kit.
It's funny how these things work. All kidding aside, there are probably plenty of people who have had no trouble whatsoever rebuilding their power steering racks, yet had excruciating experiences with other items, and vice versa. For example, many people have said that installing the D1R firewall brace is a very difficult job, but this went very smoothly for me without any trouble at all. Same goes for the install of the clutch high pressure line, the install of the Robby power cables, and the turbo brake proportioning valve. On the other hand, I always have great difficulty getting the bolts that hold the alternator to line up (just thinking about this job makes my skin crawl), and getting all the clearances and pre-loads on the balance shaft belt simultaneously correct always gives me fits (I must be doing something seriously wrong here - the last time I did it was with the engine out of the car on a stand, and it still took me a couple of very tedious and frustrating hours). But we can all learn from each others' techniques and hopefully decrease our collective frustration levels over time.
