[DML] Re: LH Steering Rack Boot

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can use a "pickle fork" (kind of looks like one) or a tool that
looks like a weird "C" clamp. The pickle fork may damage the boot but
it is univeral and cheap. The "Gorrilla" way is to heat the end up and
pound it apart but it is very smelly and messy with all that grease
and you WILL destroy the boot. Besides, it is not recomended to heat
suspension or steering parts.
