Calibra steering rack removal question?

by LE16 » Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:09 pm

Does anyone know a good way to get the bolt out from between the servo and rack? I have managed to get a 3/8 13ml between but it doesnt seem to catch the bolt so I cant even tell if the socket it right. All the other bolts are off and they are 13ml. Any one done this before? I cant get the servo off as there is no space to manouver and the bolts for it are behind the servo and not behind the bulkhead/footwell making it 10x harder.

I only have two bolts left and its annoying me now :bazooka:

I'll try that. Just found my manual which says to take out the wiper and there are two mount bolts behind the bulkhead. I'll see if I can lever it first as you say then if that is too cramped I'll go for plan B thanks mate.
