Rack and pinion Seal replacement

[Marni]

That post about the 2 rack styles was the turning point. Many thanks for that path to follow.

As it turns out, the Rock Auto part description does not specify which rack the part fits. (I'm sending a request to update to help the next vintage owner) So the one received was for a SMI and of course I have the TRW.

Found a part in France (123bearing.com better shipping) (and Latvia) and paid again for just the seal - not the kit - and 2 day delivery (+50$).

Seal dropped in as it should have. Oh boy. Putting it back together now.
