How do you replace Rack and Pinion Boot on Cadillac DeVille and DTS?

To remove the tie-rod ends, start by cutting off the inner boot clamp and discarding it. Use pliers to squeeze the tangs and slide the outer boot clamp off the boot. Then, detach the boot from the vent cross tube (if equipped) and slide the boots off the tie-rod. Before installing the new boots, wrap the threads on the ends of the tie-rods with a layer of tape to protect the small ends of the new boots during installation. To install the new boots, loosely install the inner boot clamp on each boot and slide them onto the tie-rod, securing them on the rack and pinion. Connect the breather tube, if applicable. Use boot clamp pliers to tighten the inner boot clamp and slide the outer clamp onto the boot. Finally, install the tie-rod ends and connect them to the steering knuckle. It is important to have the front-end alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.
