Now I'm wondering on how to remove the "bellows boot" .....and the correct way to remove the power steering LINE from the bellows assembly, Should the car be level if I am going to take the Tie-rod off the knuckle? cause currently I have one side jacked up, will I be able to get the Tie-rod back on the knuckle with vehicle jacked up this way.... thanks. 1998 Contour Svt Born 5/12/97 #897 of 6535 Those who think, are conquered, Those who act, conquer.
