WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Install the mounting rubber so that two notches of mounting rubber are aligned to the steering rack.
- Apply soapy water to the rubber part of the mounting rubber.
- Press the mounting rubber until the mounting rubber end comes out completely from the gear housing using the SSTs and a press.
- Reverse the gear housing, then press the mounting rubber until the mounting rubber end comes out completely from the other side. At this time, the mounting rubber end and steel pipe are aligned.
