Remove the outer boot clamps with pliers, cut off the inner boot clamps, and throw them away. Mark the location of the breather tube in relation to the rack and pinion assembly, then remove the boots and the tube. Apply grease to the exposed ends of the toothed rack before installing new boots. To install new boots, install a new clamp on the inner end of the boot.
