Great! Your pictures more or less tell the story. Only one question. Picture 2402. What is this little tube and where did it come from in relation to the rack? Heh all we need to do now is have some one sketch an exploded veiw of the rack and pinion for the super beetle.

An exploded veiw with a pictoral and written step by step would go a long way to helping our VW brothers and sisters in saving a huge amount of time and money. If you consider how hard it is to 1 find a rack in the fist place and 2 have it be in good shape. Plus if you find a good one they want to much for it. Forget rebuilt ones they often want way to much and are often rebuilt badly.

Woo Hoo!! The boot arrived. Going to tear down my rack tomorrow. Going to replace every bearing in the thing and regrease it.

Ok so the good news is that my rack is in pretty good shape. Just a little rust, one factory burr on one of the racks teeth and a little wear on the pinion. Getting new bearings next week. Pinion wear on this rack consists of a burr edge along each tooth where each side meets the flat top of the tooth. This will need to be filed and removed. A basic diagram of this is attached to this post as viewed from the end on.
The bad new is that the foam stops are completely destroyed. Fell to peices because some mechanic or PO repacked the rack with a grease that was to caustic. I need to know how thick these peices are in centimeters. Are they both the same thickness or is one thicker. As it stands I am going to have to make new stops out of something. Perhaps some urethane...... Matt. One question which way did you drift the needle bearing out? From the inside out or the outside in? Plus any suggestion as to what tools to use to do this.
