Icon5 Rack and pinion trouble

Hope ya'll can give me a slight hand. Nothing HUGE, but still huge enough. I just spend the weekend replacing my rack and pinion. Tough job, but out it came.. the replacement is almost in.. BUT.. the hassle.. I can't turn it upright.
Is there a trick I don't know about?

No trick as far as I know...not one of Fords best ideas. It took me a while to get that thing back in there. You need to install it in the correct orientation because there really isn't room to spin it around once it's in. You have to wiggle it back and forth a bit to get clearance. Just takes time and patience. Good luck.
