I finally got my rebuilt rack and pinion. I looked at one of the Toyota dealer website and I can't find the hose gaskets for the rack and pinion. Where did you buy the ones you used?
Thanks Musti. Just did this to my Tundra. Your air hammer idea worked like a charm. One problem I encountered that you didn't. Tightening the tie rods, the boots started twisting up. Removing the spring loaded hose clamps wasn't good enough. I carefully slid a little screwdriver under the boot edge an dripped a little WD on them. Smooth sailing after that.
You do good vids bro. Probably will have to install rack on my '02 Tundra. Was feeling dreadful but feeling confident now after watching your video. Thank you!
Thanks for the video on the Tundra rack replacement. Had to do the same on mine. I beat on the rag joint trying to get it to come apart from the rack shaft to no avail. Finally came loose from the steering shaft. After getting it out from under the truck I used everything I had (chisels, hammers, air hammers, etc.) to get the rag joint off. Would not come off at all. Bought a new one and shipped the core back with the old rag joint still attached.
Toyota dealer in my area is asking for $978 and $65 for the bushing collar. Is TRQ a better deal from A1 auto website or parts geek?
Would of loved to of seen it removed and installed and how you fought it out if there were any issues instead of just cuts of the edits :/
What year is this tundra

Where did you the rebuilt rack and pinion? I have the same exact problem at 245,000 miles. Too cheap to buy the OEM part.
What year tundra is it? I have a 08
What type of lift is that you had the truck on?

Great video

Did you pop the tie rod ends off, or just unthread them? Can you spin the tie rod inside the boot without causing damage?
just happened to mine…rusted out-bad! thanks for sharing this
Excellent!
