Anyone who has tried to remove the steering rack on the EB41O will appreciate this offering from exotek. Very much anticipated

Why are they a pain to remove? Is it from the posts twisting in the plastic you are referring too? I haven't pulled the rack out since I built mine so just curious to what this accomplishes over the plastic parts?

Yes. Lots of guys who have tried to remove them end up stripping them. They just spin in the arm. I really think if the recess was just a tad deeper this would never be an issue. But Ive seen horror stories about guys breaking the Ackerman plate and destroying the arms in the process of trying to replace the plate.

Luckily the arms come in the same parts bag as the new Ackerman plate however t them stripping would really be upsetting say if you bypass a stock replacement and opted for the aluminum version.

After taking a close look at mine they are a little twisted. Maybe I will look into those.

I will likely swap to them when mine let go; I run the Exotek accerman (if thats what you want to call it) but the arms came out 2 weeks after i put the plates in or i would have done them at the same time lol
