Remove the left tie rod and slacken off the right a few turns
On right-hand drive cars:
Remove the right tie rod and slacken off the left a few turns
Use an adjustable spanner and an pipe wrench. Position a adjustable spanner as counterhold as far out on the steering rack as possible.
Remove/slacken off the tie rods.
Note! On certain models there are washers on the tie rods.
Caution Use a counterhold, otherwise the rack and pinion can be damaged.
Caution The right/left tie rod stays in place. This is to prevent the end sleeve from escaping. See more below (P6).

the sealant covering the locking wire hole.

steering rack bushing locking wire.
Turn the end sleeve with a hook wrench so that the locking wire is released and can be removed.
