1. Apply silicon grease to the inside of the small opening of the steering rack boot No.2.
   

2. Temporarily install a new steering rack boot No.2 clamp to the large opening of the steering rack boot No.2 at the position shown by arrow (A).
   

   NOTICE:

   1. Use a new steering rack boot No.2 clamp.
      
   2. Do not expand the steering rack boot No.2 clamp more than necessary for installation.
      
   3. Do not deform the steering rack boot No.2 clamp.
      
   4. Tightening force of the steering rack boot No.1 clamp becomes uneven if it is installed after being expanded as shown in the illustration. As a result, rust is caused by water entering from the clearance between the boot and rack housing, causing a malfunction.
      
   5. Use only the supply parts which are applicable to the vehicle to secure the boot.
