Removing Steering Arms

[Cameron 16]

I'm sure this has probably been covered before, but I can't find anything useful so here's a thread with a nice clear title for future searchers!

 

How do you remove the nearside TCA from a PAS rack?

 

I've managed to remove the offside easily enough, but the nearside has a small rubber gaitor covering it that seems to be bonded to the piston mount collar. Does anyone know how to remove this without destroying the rubber gaitor?

Well, I tried to peel the boot back over the ball joint and the bloody thing just split so I cut it off.

 

The good news is they're available from Peugeot so I'll be getting one of those along with a new set of gaiters.

 

Anyway the answer is don't waste your time, cut the stupid boot off and remove the steering arm as you would on the other side.

I've done a guide but it's on my hard drive at my workshop. I can send it tomorrow if you PM your email address
