1996 Volvo 850 Steering Rack Passenger Side Seal Replacement

Post by Redneck »

I want to replace seals in the passenger side of my steering rack 1996 Volvo 850 GLT (This is where I have a leak). My rack is SMI type. I bought a rack rebuild kit. There are ways to replace seals on the passenger side without removing the rack. Can anyone post a link to good step by step instructions with pictures to perform this job? If anyone has done it, could you please post some pictures and share your experience doing this work?
