OS Steering Gaitor possible in situ?

[bmouthboyo]

Hi Guys,

I need to replace a split boot / gaitor on my offside.



Is it possible to replace this without having to remove the whole trackrod? Space is very limited and not sure how I could get in my cv clip pliers to secure the fixings. I was hoping I could just remove the tie rod end and slip it on?

Thanks

Yeah, did one a few months ago,didnt even remove the track rod end,use real sturdy zip ties to secure.

How did you get it over the joint without removing the trackrod end?



isnt the rubber too narrow?

[Screech16v]

Bit of grease,them things strech like fook.

Nice one, that will help keep tracking reasonable then.

Just count the turns you make when removing the rod end then re-fit with the same amount of turns and lock off. Simples
