    Q:
    How to Service and Repair the Rack and Pinion Boot on Ford Escape? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The first step to repair or service the rack and pinion boot requires removal of the covering around it. Replacement of the rack and pinion boot requires a brand new nut since the original nut cannot be reinstalled. The starting point requires the separation of the steering column shaft from the flexible coupling before discarding the existing nut. If you disconnect the steering column shaft you can proceed to remove the rack and pinion boot by unscrewing its nuts. The new boot installation follows the exact reverse operation of the removal steps.

    Q:
    How to Address Issues with the Rack and Pinion Boot on a Ford Escape? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Begin rack and pinion boot repair work after setting the rack and pinion boot cover to the side. One should install a fresh nut because the existing rack and pinion boot will not work a second time. You should start by separating the steering column shaft from its flexible coupling through the removal and discard of the old steering nut at first. Start by disconnecting the steering column shaft before you remove the rack and pinion boot by uninstalling all its nuts and extraction of the boot itself. Reinstallation of the new boot requires you to perform the steps opposite to those used during removal.

    How to Service the Rack and Pinion Boot on Mercury Mariner? Posted by Customer
    A:
    You should start the rack and pinion boot service on a vehicle situated on a hoist in NEUTRAL gear position. The first step should start with the removal of the outer tie-rod end followed by removal of the tie-rod end jam nut. Install the jam nut at 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) torque rating. The service procedure begins with removing both clamps from the rack and pinion boot together with the boot itself. The service completion requires you to perform the steps in exact reverse order of removal.

    How to Properly Maintain the Rack and Pinion Boot on a Mercury Mariner? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Position the vehicle on a hoist in neutral gear position before starting the rack and pinion boot servicing work. The first step includes removing the outer tie-rod end followed by the tie-rod end jam nut while tightening this jam nut to 41 Nm (30 ft. lbs.) when reinstalling it. Before proceeding with rack and pinion boot service, the technician should first remove both clamps securing the boot before extracting the boot itself. The service process ends by performing the opposite actions used for removal to install the new boot together with clamps.
