Best way to get to the lower steering universal joint?

[ADM 135S]

Hi, anyone know the best method of replacing the lower u/j on the steering assembly?

I've got the Lotus service notes, but it's not clear which way I should attack this, either
steering wheel end or rack end.

Any help would be great!

Cheers

Get your head in the footwell and get at the lower joint with a socket, extension and a spanner.

Great, was wondering if there was enough room to remove the old joint, without taking everything apart!

You'll probably need to slacken off the top UJ by the steering wheel to give you a bit more room to get the lower joint off

Yep that's what I thought. Thanks for the help.
