Angry power to manual rack mod for EX d series

Okay here goes. I have a 95 ex with manual transmission and I am trying to mod it with my friends help from power steering to manual rack and pinion. I found out my rack was leaking fluid so I decided to buy a manual rack. While browsing autozones website I seen they offer both for the D16 ex so i got the manual rack and watched some videos on the mod. One particular vid said i wouldnt have to drop the cradle but I think his was an automatic and mines a manual and I've already deleted power steering pump and resivor and all the hoses and have the rack unbolted but I cannot get it out. I cannot get it past the tranny linkage! Its like so close but its just not gonna f-in happen.

Does anyone know if I drop the tranny linkage will that even work? Can I get it out that way or do i gotta drop the cradle? and if so how the heck do i do it? How do i unblot the tranny linkage? Or unblot the cradle?

Time is ticking guys! Any help is very greatly appreciated! Gots nothin but love for all my eg brothas!

Dropping tranny linkage worked.....autozone sold me a manual rack with no freakin mounting bushings! I had to order these from the honda dealership because nobody carries them....oh well rack will be in tuesday and off for an alignment.
