Note:
When removing the steering gaiter, blast the gai-
ter surfaces with compressed air to eliminate any
impurities that could enter the steering box.
Note:
Be sure to centre the steer ing to ensure the air in
the gaiters is equalised.
Note:
Be careful not to damage the gaiters: risk of irre-
versible damage.
