• Q: How to replace the Rack and Pinion Boot on 2010 Chevrolet Camaro?

  A: To replace the steering gear boot you must start by removing the outer tie rod of the steering linkage yet keep track of the inner tie rod nut turn count. Remove the inner tie rod nut from the inner tie rod as your next step. Since the outer boot retaining clamp functions once during installation you should throw it away after taking it off. Remove the boot clamp from inside and discard it before removing the boot section from the inner rod. Begin installation by attaching a fresh boot onto the inner tie rod then fasten it using an original inner boot clamp while using j-22610 (Keystone Clamp Pliers) or equivalent equipment to crimp the clamp. Place a new outer boot retaining clamp before you tighten the inner tie rod nut maintaining the recorded number of turns from removal. The repair ends by installing the outer tie rod.
