@@MisterLiBRiUMz Good question. The small little hole is the cut out from removing the punch mark in order to take out the end screw safely 4:33. It seems to me that the last seal is either ruptured or incorrectly installed, as it’s supposed to prevent fluid from exiting the rack. See 16:50 timeline on the video. If possible, I recommend taking out the seal and inspect it to determine its condition. I hope this helped.

@@Papajin68 I’m glad that this video made you laugh. Sorry I lost some footage when I made this video. But to your question. I didn’t have a bench vise at the time, so I improvised by sandwiching the steering rack between two 2x4 pieces of wood, making sure they were flush on each side. I then secured everything with four clamps, evenly distributed for stability. I placed the setup on a small bench, and for additional leverage, I sat on it while applying torque. It may sound unconventional, but I had to make do with the limited tools I had available at the time. I hope that helped.

@@masterofnone1740 Don't feel bad, I ended up wrapping a strap wrench around one of the "lobes" used for mounting it to the cross-member, and then put my foot on the other side and applied some weight (I did all this on top of a rubber mat covering my workout area which protected the already painted tube and helped keep it from slipping as I tried to torque the cap), and that got me just enough leverage/stability to get it torqued properly. Anyway, thanks for making the video, it was helpful.

No, I utilized a homemade L-shaped puller. Once I removed the inner seal with the puller, the washer (center bushing) easily slides out due to gravity. Ensure not to scratch the inner surface of the rack when extracting the seal.

Hi Jason. It was preference choice so I could get the nut tight enough to the right torque spec, because I didn’t have a vise grip available.

Thanks Taylor! I’m glad this video helped.

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, it is meant to help others. This video has additional information that was not covered in other videos similar to this one. I hope you found it useful.

Thanks, Nolz10. The metal rings are the clamps for the steering rack boots.

Thanks!

You’re very welcome Brotha Herson! More S13 rebuild videos are coming soon. Enjoy!

Hi Mason. After installing the gear housing, and measure “rack stroke” on both sides of the shaft to be even. Both sides should measure 68.5mm - measuring from the end of the rack to the end of the part where the tie rod end connect.

Thank you, J DUB! I’ll be publishing more S13 part rebuilds. Hopefully, these videos help out the S Chassis community.

I was stoked to finally see your 240. Congratulations on putting it all together.
