Q: How do you remove the steering gear boot on Saturn Vue?
A: To remove the boot for the rack and pinion, first, loose the lug nuts and lift the car safely using jack stands. Then take off the wheel before removing Tie Rod End and jam nut. After that, take off all clamps connected to the boot of rack and pinion and slide it away. For an installation process, start with wrapping threads and teeth at the steering rod's end by a tape in order to save a new boot from damage. Let some grease be applied on both tie rod and inner of boots. Slide this new boot into its suitable position over rack & pinion in such a way that it fits into housing and steering rod grooves as well. Fasten clamps then remove tape if any. Place wheel followed by tie rod end then lug nuts back in place, lower vehicle while tightening lug nuts up to recommended torque respectively. Lastly have wheel alignment checked or adjusted where necessary.
