Hi All,

I need to replace a split Gaiter on my '93 Non PAS Steering Rack, i've got a replacement and have had the wheel off, initially I thought I would remove the track rod end, but its very rusted and I can't loosen the clamping nut even after having it soaked in plusgas for a few days, so I don't fancy my chances for getting the rod end off with having nothing to clamp the track rod from spinning.

I've got myself a 32mm spanner as i thought it may be easier to remove the track rod, but I can't seem to get that to budge either!

Am I missing a trick because at this rate it looks like I might have to get the whole rack out just to replace the gaiter!

Thanks.
