    Good instructional vid., I wouldn't have tried it without seeing this video. So, my thoughts !!, JOINT SEPERATER ESSENTIAL + tools extra that you may need... Mole grips (2 pairs if you intend doing both sides at once), small (10 inch) Stilson pipe grips)- the rubber gaitors on the steering box stick to the shafts, you will need to soak with WD40 or similar before you start, use the Moles to release the clips and clamp (clips are quite strong) don't start unless the gaitors are free to turn on the shafts or they may split... You may need to cut the lock nuts (mine were seized on), Stilson pipe grips to turn the steering box shaft as the lands are prone to slipping spanners - if they are seized!. Try using a sharp small chisel to scribe marks on old and new parts to take measurements from (mine were 19.5 mm length -standard 265 tyres). After torqueing the nuts to spec, take a short 1 mile drive and come back to workshop then re-check torques with the wheels on the car, you may have a surprise, I did. If your steering is out of alignment, go to CZcams (2 vids) search text - How to perform wheel alignment by yourself and How to do basic alignment at home - good straight instructions - they do work.. Cheers all. Thanks DIYIT13...

    You will need a wheel alignment after this….any steering or front suspension component loosened off and/or replaced to gain access to another one = wheel alignment

    Please check the car and do not rely on the jack. This is not your last job in life.

    I got the exact same car mate and your videos are the best thing since sliced bread. Any chance you will be doing the timing belt at all?

    What bolts did you use? Also where did you source the bolts and dust covers?

    Complimenti per il video, io ho lo stesso mezzo, e sono terrorizzato perché penso che mi possa capitare qualcosa. Perché nel 2021 ancora non c'è una soluzione al problema? 🤔🤔🤔
