on the alternator sleeve issue: that sleeve moves as you tighten the bolt to just where it needs to be. Don't hit it! Tighted the bolt to torque spec.

It is difficult to loop the racks lines like you want without pulling the engine or droping the rack. When I did mine in 2007 (still works great) I simply removed the lines leading to the rotary valve from the pump, drained the fluid and plugged the holes with threaded plugs. If the car is moving at all, there is no significant effort to turn the wheel.
