The list is confusing me a little at present as there seems to be several
different threads on this subject, some of them split into two or three
parts.
As I mentioned previously I just replaced my steering arm and seal last
week and I did it with the box still in the car. You need to first
disconnect the side and centre rods from the arm. It is best if you use a
ball joint separator to do this as the ends are tapered and remain tightly
in position after you have removed the nuts.
The most difficult thing is removal of the arm itself as it is attached to
the splined and tapered end of the steering rocker. It will be very tight
it is best to use a puller to remove it. The problem is that there is very
little room to get the puller into position. It will depend on the shape
and size of the puller. I managed to do it with the puller I purchased but
it was a bit of a struggle and I had to use it in a position that was not
exactly perpendicular. If you can get a good grip a couple of turns on the
end of the puller will free the arm easily. Replace the seal where you are
there.
Assembly is the reverse of the above.
