To do the oil filter housing gasket, it's easier to pull the power steering gearbox. Separate the tie rod end below and the steering coupler above. Don't undo the spline connection as it is more of a pia to get re_centered. Also, try to locate the OEM gasket as it is much better quality. There are a few still left out of there.
