Anyone disassemble a steering rack?
The seals went bad on my original power steering rack a while back, so I grabbed a used rack and threw it in. I saved my old rack so I could install a seal kit since I don`t really want to buy a rebuilt rack and get stuck with the rack out of a regular CTS. I started pulling my rack apart and all of the hard parts are in great shape. However, I don`t know how the main rod/piston assembly comes out. With most racks there`s a retaining clip on the passenger side that will allow the seal to be removed and the piston assembly to slide out the passenger side. This does not seem to be the case on the cts-v rack. Do the aluminum ends unscrew from the steel center tube? Are they pressed in? The factory service manual does not seem to mention anything about disassembly of the rack.
