    Hi Guys,
    Last year I had to change over a steering arm, and in the process discovered the arm boot had a fair bit of fluid in it, which at the time I cleaned out and put back on the new arm.

    Fast forward to last weekend and taking a look in the arm boot and there is some fluid again, so before the good weather arrives I’m biting the bullet and am going to get the rack rebuilt.

    Had a search but couldn’t find much info.

    Has anyone got any top tips for rack removal?

    I don't think this is very helpful but there might be some useful information here.

    I haven't done a rack on a 360. All I can say is if it is anything like the 355, you are in for a very long weekend. Let's hope not.

    I had my rack replaced a couple years ago at FOS, and I kept the old one. If you find a place to rebuild, please post it, I'd like to rebuild my old one if possible.

    I’m in the uk and there’s a couple of places here that will do them, that even the main franchised dealers send work to.

    Going to let the place that I bought my car from handle the organisation around the refurb.

    Interesting.. it’s dry January as well, so no beer to have regular de-stress breaks :D

    I’ll try and take some pics to document the process.

    I did see that, however I think I would have removed the track rods to make clearance easier.

    I don't know if you can remove the end rods with the rack inside the car. Certainly would not be easy.
