p0l1wrath 10 Posted July 25, 2014 Hello Just wondered how the track rods are removed from the steering rack, i know it seems to be a bit of a pig to do I just want to know do they screw in and out at the rack end yeh? If so is it normal thread? Will i lose any steering fluid whilst i take them out. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 Gar 10 Posted July 25, 2014 Here is a picture of it. It just screws into the rack. Remove boot, use special tool, crow foot or possibly large spanner if there is enough room to undo and its off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted July 25, 2014 The 'correct' way is to hold the rack in a vice with it off the car, however most garages will just use a quick track rod removal tool that goes over the rod and takes 5 minutes to do the job, I've used these several times with no issue and yes the rod just unscrews but can be tight due to threadlock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
