How to remove this seal in steering rack??

[Usr117063]

The seal inside this cylinder, does the cap come off? Because the seal is just being torn slightly and not budging

 

[Usr117063]

@1985michael182 You got any idea mate?

 

[1985michael182]

The black seal

 

[1985michael182]

Have you watched @pule333 YouTube video when he stripped and converted to short rack?

 

[1985michael182]

Looks like 2 parts pressed together to me with 2 x O ring style seals. One sunk into the top and one sat in a grove lower down.

 

[Usr117063]

Yes I watched his to take it apart. The picture wasn’t so clear here is another. The black ring is just metal, looks like an oring I know

 

[1985michael182]

It's a bearing isnt it

 

[Usr117063]

Well the seal inside seems to be joined to the metal end cap thing with the black ring. Nothing moves though, the rack only touches the seals and white seals but mine got a bit chewed up and developed play. Im worried of doing any damage so dont want to try whacking things out

 

[1985michael182]

The black outer looks like it has small notches out of it for a special tool?

 

[Usr117063]

Yeah it looks it, Im just worried of damaging it

 

[Usr117063]

 

[Usr117063]

Pardon our interruption...

Ordered this, dont even know if it comes with the required ones!

 

[1985michael182]

Nice recording ?

 

[Usr117063]

Thanks

 

[1985michael182]

Can you clamp the part in a vice and then gently tap the torches anticlockwise to see if it unscrew?

 

[Usr117063]

It worked on my phone! Will do another

 

[1985michael182]

Thanks

You know it's only sound right? No video

@Eddie555 Thanks mate, this is actually the brt rack I have, Ive been on contact with them and these seals seemed to be the culprit but I dont know now if they are meant to be replaced or the rebuild seals I bought actually includes them.

Not had much luck with racks..

 

[Usr117063]

I dont know if you can get this bearing type piece new I cant find it online

That's as much help I can give you buddy.. I never actually saw Ilya build my rack.. It was a "pay someone to do it" kinda job.. [emoji2357]

@Eddie555 No problem thanks mate.

The black ring is in fact the seal, its 'infused' to the metal cap. What I dont understand is the hydraulic quick rack I had, it leaked out of the same place. Implying these old seals could be 150000 miles old are re used..

Personally I think renault are just c***s and all the parts that people need they stop producing the moment the car sets foot out the factory..


@Mbeau Dont suppose youve got a pas rack spare? I should of bought the car off you!

Hi mate, how annoying. I do have a complete rack. Will PM you 👍

 

[bozothenutter]

Where is this seal located?
I have a Pure quickrack, might want to keep an eye on it.

Your right hand side as you are left hand drive First thing to check is if the boot has fluid seeping through the bottom, if bone dry then probably okay. May make noise as well when you turn, worst case is play

 

[1985michael182]

Epas doesnt have these issues

 

[Usr117063]

You mean with the epas rack? Why isnt there a quick rack designed for that rack, the hydraulic rack with its spongebob bushes and poorly designed seals that fall apart should be sacked off.

 

[Usr117063]

How can I start learning about solidworks and designing parts without going to uni?

 

[1985michael182]

Night class?

 

[1985michael182]

I'm on PAS rack with EPAS column.
I've dropped some pas oil inside to keep it lined up, mine doesnt leak? Theres no pressure now to force oil past any seals.
To be fair though mine has only done 45000miles

 

[1985michael182]

 

[Usr117063]

Mine is pas rack too but it was filled with grease, this is how pms guide on their site did it too (mine is brt now). First time mine was fluid obviously but that wasnt one little seal that went..

Im going to do one of these courses or start learning on youtube to get going.. Ive paid for wiring and tuning courses as well which Im currently doing.

 

[1985michael182]

Haha the wiring could have helped you with the Epas problem!

Who you running these courses with?
Just online ones. Solidworks is all CAD designs n things

 

[Usr117063]

Yup that was a bit of a mission! Its by HP Academy, I have 2 wiring courses out of 3 (third is motorsport mil spec stuff), efi tuning course, launch control and how to degree a cam because I had an offer that made them both free on separate times. Because they offer a lot of deals Ive not spent much, its a steal really. 25 quid for efi tuning course.. Youd have to pay a lot more for that information elsewhere.
