Hello,

HAs anyone ever replaced their rack and pinion boot? This is the black rubber boot near the front axle closest to the wheels. Is this very difficult, and are any special tools such as a ball and joint puller required? If possible please provide brief instructions.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

nah..but pop off the tie rod end from the knuckle, pull off the old boot/pieces in my case, then slip on the new ones, get the lip around the rack..and ziptie it to seal it, really easy actually
