On my EL rack there are exactly two 14mm bolts holding it in. The thread is in the K frame. To remove it, undo the two 14mm bolts, pop off the tie rods and disconnect the lines. The rack will slide backwards from between two tabs on the K frame. Reverse procedure to refit rack...

They are normal bolts. If you do not know which way normal bolts go I would suggest you do not touch a spanner.....

Seriously, if you have to ask such basic questions, you shouldn't be working on cars. I for one am not going to tell you - nasty? Maybe but I don't care. It would take all of 2 seconds to figure it out by trial and error instead of expecting handholding for tightening a damn bolt!!!!!!!!!~
