Steer rack seal replacement

Post by Powerslave »

Hey guys, I'm gonna try to tackle this one without takin it to any shop. Does anyone have some PDF's from the srvc manual on the procedure to get the steer rack out ???

Any help , will be forever in your debt.

you'll have to remove the front right hand wheel. there should be three long 14mil bolts that go through the wheel arch and into the box. on the inside of the bonnet on the end of the 14mil bolts are 14mil nuts. mark the spline, and remove the steering column from the box. i removed mine with the engine out so you may have to move the heat sheild out of the way and drop the box under the car. if to tight to move around you will have to remove the exhaust manifold. good luck....
