1985 Sierra steering rack

[dandan62]

Hi. I have a worn plastic bush in my steering rack which is from a 2985 Sierra. It matches the pictures in the Haynes manual. All it needs to get at it is the ford tool 13-009 to remove it to be able to withdraw the rack. I'm either trying to source that tool or replace the rack which is proving quite hard. Does anyone have a rack they could sell me? Or the tool they would trust me to return on completion? Many thanks

Any idea what the tool is/does, often you can make/jerryrig something which will do

Edit:- https://www.ebay.com/itm/235492714744 looks like you could also use an angry grinder on a deep socket to make one

Apologies I missed that, just another benefit of Brexit that the sheep didn't realise

Hi. That sounds interesting. Can you post a photo of it? And would you post it if it's a match and I'll pay of course? Cheers

Update. Looks like I have sourced a replacement from eBay. Old one is off after a bit of struggling so fingers crossed it is not knackered like mine.
