Power Steering Rack Steering Gear Steering Box For Opel Vectra C 02-08

Product Description:

Power Steering Rack Steering Gear Steering Box For Opel Vectra C 02-08

Tools Needed: 13mm wrench, 6mm Allen wrench. 
Estimated Time Required: 15 minutes

1. Use the 6 mm Allen wrench to remove the return line from the steering gear housing of the rack.

    

   NOTE
   I understand some lucky individuals have hex-head hollow bolts. If you have the Allen head like mine and you're unfortunate, the hollow bolt attaching the line will have seized and you will need channel locks to remove it.

    

   TIP
   If you have the Allen head hollow bolts, you may want to consider replacing them with hollow hex head bolts which are available from the dealer. It makes it much easier to attach the return hose after the rack is in place as there is room between the rack and cross-member to tighten the bolt with an open end wrench. This tip provided courtesy of John Smaardyk.

    

2. Remove the pressure line support clamp from the rack housing and the ground wire that is attached at that location.
3. Then, with the 13mm wrench, remove the 4 rack mounting bolts.
4. Slide the rack out of its mounting journals and simultaneously slip off the steering universal joint as you lower the rack assembly.
5. Since your replacement rack is probably bare, you will need to remove the following items from your old rack for installation on the new rack:
   • High pressure line support clamp and 10mm bolt
   • Rack line rubber spacer
   • Plastic compensating line with two plastic L-shaped fittings (they just pull out)
   • Left and right side mounts

6.0 - Tie-rod Removal from the Rack

Tools Needed: 3 inch vise, soft jaws, 30 mm wrench, cold chisel.
Estimated Time Required: 30 minutes

1. Label the left and right tie-rod ends for re-assembly.
2. Pull the boots away from the steering gear housing to expose the rack and inner ball joints of the tie-rod assembly. If your seals were blown as bad as mine, this is another opportunity to get a Dexron II bath!
3. Extend the driver's side of the rack all the way out. This will expose approximately 75mm (3 inches) of rack teeth which should be clamped tightly into the soft jaws on the vise. I used two pieces of aluminum angle to make soft jaws. If you have a 4 inch vise, you will have to angle the rack in order to get a good grip on the flats of the rack teeth.

    

   NOTE
   Mounting the rack in the vise securely is an important step as it is imperative that no pressure be applied to the steering gear mechanism.

    

4. At each end of the rack, there is a small locking notch (about 8mm) which should have the flange of the inner ball joint peened into it. Use the cold chisel to carefully remove the peened portion of the flange.
5. Then, using a 30 mm wrench, or large crescent wrench, remove the tie-rod assemblies from the rack. Both ends are right hand thread, just in case you were wondering.
   You can now mail in the old rack and get your core charge back!
