I was inspecting the front end of my daughter's 1986 240. When I pulled off the passenger side steering boot, about a quarter cup of dirty fluid poured out of the boot. Can the ZF steering rack seals be replaced easily with the rack on the car? What else should I be looking for in deciding how to proceed? It's not a really fast leak because we hardly ever have to add fluid. The fluid that poured out could have been accumulating for years for all I know. I've replaced tie rods, but I've never repaired any part of the rack itself.
