Hello to all, I want to change the gaiter from the power steering ram side and I found over the internet that is a way with a stretchy gaiter.
Now I have the stretchy gaiter but how to remove the power steering ram from that stud. If anyone know please share

Take the nut off and then move the steering from side to side a little, then gently lever the ram off the stud. Did this job a few months ago and it is horrible getting the gaiter on. I ended up levering it with a blunt round ended kitchen knife. Good luck!

Thank you Jaf, I removed the nut but without moving steering from side to side and thought I have to remove the back screw from the ram, a torx t55. Tomorrow I will try again to get the ram of the stud.

Thanks to all..I did it today and took 2 painful hours under the car with a lever and some gearbox oil to slide. Hope this stretchy gaiter to resist some years.
