[Spridgets] Steering rack boot replacement?

[daredelvis at gmail.com]

Tighten it down and give it a slight hit with a hammer and it pops loose. That’s how it worked for me.

Just keep cranking the bolt down and when you think something is going to break the ball joint usually pops out with a bang.  Remember to count the turns when you remove the tie rod end.  You may have to still do a front end alignment, but that's easy.  Just take a string and compare the tire edges in the front to the back until you get 0-1/8th inch wider in the back. Good luck.
