replace steering boots on 94 164LS

["Karl Chen" <karlcchen@domain.elided>]

Last night I replaced both steering boots of my 94 164LS.
It is not very easy to work in such a tight space.
I put it back without much alignment lost so I can drive
to shop have alignment done this morning.

On passenger side, there is a nut hold booting on
top of tie-rod.  At first I couldn't figure out how to
remove it.  As nut turns with bolt.  I finally noticed
there is a 5mm allen socket on bolt's end.  Use a 5mm
allen key socket to prevent bolt from turning.

The boot repair kit come with two rubber boots parts and
a piece of rubber with two big holes.  I recommend just
leave that old piece of rubber there without replace it.
It is not likely to break but impossible to remove
unless you have entire steering assembly out.
