Squeeze the ends of the clamp 12 (figure 383) fastenings of the rubber boot 15 from the outside and remove the boot from the steering gear housing, moving it along the rod.
Loosen the large lock nut 11 at the end of the toothed rack and unscrew the steering rod.
Loosen the ball joint nut with a wrench.
Set the toothed rack to the middle position so that its ends protrude from both sides of the crankcase by the same amount (dimension "A" in Figure 388).
Screw new steering rods into the ends of the rack (having previously removed their casing), setting the size "B" on both sides to 70.5 mm (figure 389). Set the length of the steering rod to 379 mm (see figure 383), measured between the middle of the tie rod end pin and the end of the inner tie rod joint (in the place where the lock nut is adjacent to it). Adjust by rotating tip 4 (figure 383) of the outer joint of the steering rod, having first loosened its lock nut.
Tighten the locknuts 11 and put on the rubber boots. Insert the casing fastening clamps into the grooves and lower their ends.
