ED won't fit if you are planning a rack change, the pinion is different, as is EF, the only one that will fit is EL. V8 racks don't have the pressure switch to bump up the revs and NL may have SSPS.

been a while since done a falcon one but i think there is a pin that has to be snapped with the nut erasyist way is a pipe wrench and a bit of elbow grease and it should come undun. if they are both 6cyl with pressure switch it would/ should fit its only difference is if the nl has varabile effort steering would come help but im over redlands way and flat out atm wish ya some luck

The retainer is just a large washer, knock the flat bit back so you can unwind the rack end.
All racks in EF/L are interchangeable except for ELGT/FBT specific racks. Just change the powerhead on the rack to suit your car. PM me if you need help or more info, have all workshop manuals here. |

The power head is the bit the intermediate shaft bolts to, the first part of the rack, where all inputs go.
There is 4 bolts from memory holding it on, and you can then swap a SSPS head onto a non SSPS rack to get the rack you need. |
