roccorich 16 Posted March 12, 2014 Just got the CTi MOTd nsf steering rack gaiter split osr brake pipe kinked osf tiebar/rod has excessive play in balljoint. Can I buy the steering rack gaiter separately and if so is it a case of taking off the track rod end and sliding it on? I got a brake pipe flaring kit for Christmas so looks like I can put that to use. Anyone know what size flare nuts I need? Tiebar rod I assume is a simple case of breaking the ball joint then unbolting the old rod. Cheers for any advice or tips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aldworth33 45 1 Cars Posted March 12, 2014 You can get the gaiter separate. make up a new brake pipe (unless it's the flexi pipe) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roccorich 16 Posted March 12, 2014 There seems to be two different boots for the steering rack. Anyone know how I make sure I get the right one? And I take it I need M10 x1 nuts for the brake pipe. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

farmer 328 1 Cars Posted March 12, 2014 Should be simple job then. I make it this number for gen boot, bit pricey though. 0000406620 STRG RACK BOOT 20.52 GBP 20.52 GBP 24.62 GBP 24.62 GBP 24.62 GBP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roccorich 16 Posted March 12, 2014 That's the one I was leaning towards. There's a Febi kit on ebay for £7. But also one with part number 406622 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farmer 328 1 Cars Posted March 12, 2014 Bit more reasonable at that price. Strangely I bought a PAS boot last week and it was only 9 quid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

farmer 328 1 Cars Posted March 12, 2014 Much easier than a PAS near side one anyway lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted March 12, 2014 Can you glue it, Allot of splits can be done this way and will hold for years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roccorich 16 Posted March 12, 2014 Ive already ordered the boot. Looks easy enough to change but can't see the split at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
