Well since my PAS rack was leaking and I have a 'new' one on the way I figured I'd find out how it all worked, cue much swearing etc as I dismantled the rack! :lol:
First job was to find a novel way of shifting a track rod end out, bare in mind I only fitted it new few weeks ago, but I used heat to remove the old one and am guessin the track rod was still hot when I fitted the new one. Distinct lack of blow torch now tho so had to use my inginuity! :wink:

After that I set about dismantling the rest of the rack, I might rebfurb it and rebuild this rack up again as a spare if I decide, but for now its in bits, so cue nice exploded series of pics for a 'technical' look! :P
