Loosen the lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel. Remove the tie-rod end. Remove the rack and pinion boot clamps. The outer clamp on the rack and pinion boot can be removed with pliers - the inner clamp must be cut off. Slide off the boot. Some boots may have small vents or tube fittings molded into them. Make sure to note the position of these vents so that the replacement boots can be installed in the same position. Before installing the new boot, wrap the threads and serrations on the end of the inner tie rod with a layer of tape so the small end of the new boot isn't damaged. Slide the new boot into position on the rack and pinion until it seats in the groove in the rack and pinion and install new clamps. Remove the tape from the inner tie rod and install the tie-rod end. Install the wheel and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the torque. Have the front wheel alignment checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
