Steering Rack ends
Posted: Mon Nov 22, 2021 2:54 am
Greetings to the long lost world of X5.
The steering rack ends have had the fritz on the E53 and need replacing and when reading up on the subject I see that a "special tool" is needed to get at the nut or whatever it is called to get the rack ends out. Being of Scots decent I don't want to splash out on something that is a once only job so can anyone tell me the size of the appropriate spanner then I can probably modify an existing tool that has had little use.
