just finished grovelling about in the street, in the rain, getting my steering rack out. As usual I've been impressed with the simplicity of the setup. Interestingly I hardly had to jack the car up at all, everything was get-at-able with no hidden surprises. The seals were so gone that when I squeezed the bellows one side the fluid just shot out of the other, there was also quite a bit of movement in the track rod arm itself. The trackrod ends were a pig to get off and I had to go and buy a proper extractor. If you're going to do it get the proper one that looks like a big clothes peg, not that joke tool that uses a bolt acting directly on to the top of the trackrod end, you couldnt do a toy car with that.

Getting that reluctant uj back onto the rack is a bit tricky, but I'll finish it off tomorrow if it stops raining.
