STEERING RACK REMOVAL

I had to start by undoing the bolt that holds the steering shaft to the spline. The bolt is keyed into the shaft so it has to be fully removed. Note my car has been converted from left hand drive to right hand drive so things may be slightly different in appearance, but I think basically the same.
Picture 1 shows the 13mm spanner on one side of the bolt. I needed a 2nd one also to undo the nut. This is quiet difficult as there is very little room to swing the spanners but you eventually get there. You can also see the 2 bolts that hold the steering rack down. The nuts were on the inside of the car so I needed to get a spanner to lock one while you used a ratchet to turn the other. The other side is similar but uses two bolts rather than a stud and a bolt as in the pictured side.
Picture 2 shows the steering rack as soon as I had pulled it out.
Picture 3 shows the steering rack after cleanup. I used ArmorAll to clean up the rubber components and wire brushed the aluminum and painted components ready for a clear coat of Por15 for the aluminum and black Por15 for the other parts.
With all the components out, I sprayed the wheel arches and the steering rack tunnel with the black bituminous spray. In Picture 4 the steering rack is back in again.
Picture 5 shows the tie rod bolted back on. I used the 3/4 inch socket set to do these up due to how tight they where to get them off. They do have the locking plate there so maybe they don't have to be that tight.

What Our Member's Are Saying

"I have spent hours looking for fixes for my Lambo and here it is in one website. Great value for money and very easy to use." Charles Wigins

"Fantastic concept and the information is very well set out. Every model for the one price is brilliant. I fixed my problem by searching another model." Tyler Mendo

"I have recently sold my Countach but I would like to give a big shout out to the one person who has been collating this information for many years and has made this website a winner. Jason is a handicapped man who is the driving force behind this website. I met Jason and his brother by accident at a car event in Australia. Even though he will never drive a car, he sure knows how to drive the internet. Well done Jason and keep up the good work." Mark W
