replacing the rack dampening bolt

[martgess]

my question is how can the rack dampening bolt be replaced easily when the oil filter canister is right in the way of pulling out the old one. i have done quite a bit of research relating to this and have not found an explanation as to how this procedure can be done, but i have found those who have done it and said it was really easy---the purpose of all this is to stop my 85 300d from the rough idle which is intermittent but always when cold (relatively speaking from CA) can anyone out there help with this thanks mg
