[Mg-t] TD Steering Rack

[BOB GRUNAU]

John,
The main steering rack zerk fitting in the center of the rack is for GEAR
oil, #90 . Get an oil gun for the rack and use the same gun on the zerk
fitting on the tachometer drive gearbox.  Use of grease on these two
fittings means lubricant will not get into the critical areas.

Hi "T" Listers,

I have been trying to read as much as possible about the steering rack on
the
TD.    One of my rack seals was ripped.
After much work I finally was able to separate the tie rod end by pressing
it
out with a puller. What is the easiest way to do that task ??

I noticed my tie rod boot was ripped on the other side so I am just going to
replace both tie rod boots and both rack seals.

My tie rod ends are different from each other with one being flat on the
bottom with no grease zerk on top /  the other kind of round on the bottom
with a grease zerk on top.

On the middle of the steering rack is a zerk which I have read about both
grease and oil for this area ????

Thanks,

John
