Removing rubber boot on steering column



  Clio Mk2 172
In an attempt to diagnose a cracking/clicking noise that i can feel through the from the steering column I am struggling to remove the rubber shroud that covers the universal joint.

Is there a trick to exposing the UJ without removing the dash/shaft? I've tried with a load of force to pull it up or to peel if back but no joy!

Did you manage to diagnose the problem?

I’d say I have what sounds like the same issue in my 182ff.

Cheers,

Ed

Take it out and have a look. If you want to properly look at it the column will have to come out, it’s not difficult just fiddly. You can undo the lower uj bolt from in the car, doesnt take long.

You are perhaps not getting the grease into the right area, its like a plastic bearing type thing that spins in teh boot,
 
Pry between the rubber and the plastic bearing and spray grease in here, worth a shot
