Yes, it is designed for standard inner steering rack knuckles, which are common on power-assisted steering systems.
While the tool is robust, hand tools are recommended to prevent damage to the inner steering rack housing.
The tool is rated for racks starting at 29mm in diameter.
Yes, provided the user has experience with steering systems and the vehicle falls within the 29-34mm specifications.
The tool should be kept clean, but applying a small amount of light machine oil to the moving parts can help maintain smooth operation.
Ensure the rack diameter is within the 29-34mm specification and check that the tool is pushed fully onto the knuckle head.
Verify if the steering rack can be extended or if additional suspension components need to be removed to clear the 400mm length of the tool.
To use the tool, ensure the steering rack is exposed and the boot is removed. Slide the tool over the steering shaft until it engages the inner tie rod knuckle. Select either the 27mm hex end or a 1/2-inch drive ratchet to rotate the tool.
Compatibility: This tool is strictly for racks between 29mm and 34mm. It is not suitable for steering boxes or non-standard rack designs.
Care Instructions: After use, wipe the tool clean of grease and debris to prevent internal build-up. Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent surface corrosion. Periodically check the inner sleeve teeth for wear to ensure a secure grip during operation.
