Will get it photo copied and posted on here the steering rack diagram that i have.
what making me wonder about how did that gaiter get damage its not a normal ware and tear damage it looks like if a driver have been stuck into it.
the next hard job will be lining the light up on the near side that how easy the last few jobs are

Just lift it of the ram if you have undone the 2 bolts, you don't have to undo the hydraulic pipes,

Great that,s what i done undone the 2 10mm bolts, all back together now thanks for help i will be starting the next job lining up the near side head lamp, as soon as i got the car past the mot i will post that diagram up of the rack, also i will take pictures of the rack that i broken up into the components, the heating up the gaiter with hot water is a good way to get pass that ram collar on the rack i was able to use the gaiter from the spare rack with out damage.

Good work! How long did it take you? I'll be at this job soon now I hope. Hope your wheel alignment is still OK.

The way I done it wheel alignment should remain the same, I never altered any of the adjustment nuts, well about 1 day doing both steering racks, but then this was a first for me and i was taking notes as i was going along also i was looking at the job from all angles before starting. now i need to find out how to do the main beam lights alining them up my manual as no info at all it just says refer to c/garage

Turn the adjuster knobs on the bonnet slam panel.

well tomorrow back to the mot station, all work done

Hope the retest is fine.
Should be with the work you have put in.
